Discrepancy in Form 16

My employer has filled my HRA component in "Total amount of any other exemption under section 10" in Part B and "House rent allowance under section 10(13A)" is 0.

When I asked finance guy to get it corrected it, he told me that govt portal is generating wrong info. I think their CA has wrongly filled the info and he is justifying it simply.

It is also not showing in 26AS.

Can I face problems in future in case he does not get it rectified? He is very rude. 

How can I take it up with IT department?

Quick Summary
A user is concerned about a discrepancy in their Form 16 where their employer incorrectly reported the HRA component. The HRA is listed under 'any other exemption' instead of the correct 'House rent allowance' section, and it's not reflected in Form 26AS. The user fears future tax complications if the error isn't rectified and is seeking advice on how to approach their employer or complain to the IT department.

No, If he does not rectify the statement in future.

I didn't understood. I may get problem or not if its not rectified? Can I somehow complain to IT departmnet about it?

Till your form 16 and ITR data are consistent, no problem will arise. In case the employer makes any rectification in future, you may get trouble, if the income gets changed from exempted to taxable.
