Form 16 and form 26AS match in salary, TDS but the salary amount shown is wrong

My form 16A and form 26AS match in salary and TDS but the salary amount shown is wrong. If I file my income tax with this form 16A I will have to pay more tax and will the IT department flag my income tax return.

Quick Summary
This discussion addresses a common issue where Form 16 and Form 26AS show matching TDS amounts, but the salary figure is incorrect. Filing with the wrong salary can lead to overpaying tax or attracting attention from the IT department. The advice suggests reconciling your bank statements with salary slips and requesting your employer to rectify Form 16. It's crucial to use the correct salary figure from Form 16 for your tax filing, as it's automatically populated and linked with the IT department's records.

You can request to employer for rectification
See the bank statement and reconciliation with the salary statement
and then tell to rectify
how much %difference

20percent difference

Then reconcile
it's huge difference
Income tax deducted and advance amount is deducted by employer .
there are two columns

2. amount deducted.
Try to understand form 16 as given to you.
