Difference of salary amount in form 16 and form 26AS

Sir, but what is the basis of verification for Income tax dept? Is it Form 16 or 26AS?

I have noticed if by mistake 26AS shows more salary than form 16, then Dept assumes more salary and sends demand notice to taxpayer.

Are the data given in Form 16 by employer, available with Dept too?

In my case provisional form 16 from TRACES website also showing salary from Sep 2020 only.

I want a healthy discussion over this issue

you have to file a return on actual what you received cash voucher or bank transfer and actual TDS deducted. form 26A will show TDS collected. The same should be in form 16.  if less deducted by employer pay via form 280 self-assessment tax or you will get notice u/s) 139(9) or demand notice u/s) 143(1) 

D13 The amount payable (D11 –D12)(if D11 > D12) should be 0

D14 Refund(D12 - D11)(if D12 > D11) should be 0 of more

It would be inappropriate to disclose salary from sep onwards. The employer is required to revise the TDS returns (to include missing entries) and issue a revised form 16.

Have you checked with the employer about the reason for this discrepancy?

One should be honest to file return. File your return as per your salary in hand received officially, your employer did right or wrong not your problem, as I suggested follow rules and file your income tax return. If your employer not deposited TDS and collected from you then you can talk to your employer. Follow my previous comments

Normally TDS is deducted when you reached threshold of 250,000 , 87A  rebate also to be taken in consideration, once you cross 250k bracket TDS starts, before that you  should declare your savings, HRA , etc  once you cross taxable limits TDS starts.
