Form 26AS shows 4 months, Form 16 shows 12:
• Form 26AS shows salary only where the employer reported it with TDS in 24Q. If TDS was nil for 8 months (or the employer reported only the quarters with TDS), 26AS shows partial salary. Form 16 Part B shows the full salary.
• Report the full salary in the ITR (as per Form 16). Under-reporting to match 26AS would be wrong.
• If the CPC flags a mismatch, explain with Form 16. Ask the employer to ensure 24Q Q4 Annexure II includes the full-year salary.
