If you have not yet registered on TRACES, please register by clicking on 'Register as New User' on TRACES home page and selecting type of user as 'Tax Payer'

Then submit download request for Form 26AS which would be made available to you in text format.

when extracting the text file asking for pass word. where the assessee is registered in traces as tay payer and not as deductor - we are not able to open the text file to follow further steps of converting into excel sheet.
