Difference in 26 AS and AIS

This discussion addresses a common issue where figures in Form 26AS and the Annual Information Statement (AIS) do not match. The user is seeking guidance on which figure to rely on and whether to edit their Income Tax Return (ITR) based on the pre-filled data. Advice suggests verifying the 26AS data against your books of account and, if correct, editing the pre-filled ITR data accordingly, rather than altering the AIS. It's also noted that both forms can sometimes be incorrect, recommending a personal calculation of income from all sources using your own records.
