Mismatch of income chargeable under head of salary in 26as & form 16

Respected Members,

My brother working in Pvt Ltd co. have received Form-16. Now while going to file ITR-1 for A.Y. 2018-19 there is mismatch between 26AS & Form-16 "Income chargeable under Salaries", i.e. in 26AS it is Rs. 1118600 but in Form-16 it is Rs. 1085426 i.e. Rs. 33174 of Allowance to the extent exempt under section 10 has been added in 26AS.

Now if we capture Rs. 1085426 in "Salary (Excluding all exempt/ non-exempt allowances, perquisites & profit in lieu of salary as they are shown separately below)" in ITR 1 he will get notice of mismatch between ITR & 26AS.

And ITR 2 having option to show the break up under column 7 for section 10.

So kindly guide suitable option to file ITR to avoid any notices from IT Deptt.

Thanks a lot in Advance for your valuable suggestions.

As suggested by you. ITR 2 can be filed, no restriction.

If ITR 1 is files, and notice u/s. 143(1)A is received, it can be replied with the same details as shown in ITR2, which is duly accepted and ITR gets processed. so, no need to worry even for filing ITR1, when cause is genuine. Moreover, the notice is issued, only when the mismatch is more than 10%.
