TDS amount not reflecting in new ITR form software

Hi Ashok,

You're facing a common issue that arises due to mismatched timelines between TRACES and the ITR utility — particularly for TDS on interest income credited by CPC (Bangalore) after March 31, which is not reflecting in the prefill data or the ITR utility auto-import.

Let’s break down what’s going on and what you should do:

🔍 Understanding the Issue:

• You received interest on delayed refund, and TDS was deducted by CPC after 31 March 2021 (i.e., on 6 June 2021).

• This TDS reflects on TRACES, but is not auto-importing into the ITR form for A.Y. 2021-22.

• The new Income Tax portal (launched in June 2021) had several technical glitches around TDS import and Form 26AS sync.

✅ What You Should Do:

🔹 Option 1: Manual Entry

You can manually enter the missing TDS details in your ITR form:

1. Go to the Schedule TDS section in your ITR utility.

2. Manually input:

   • Deductor’s TAN (CPC Bangalore's TAN)

   • Name of Deductor

   • Amount of TDS

   • Year of Deduction

3. Cross-check with Form 26AS to match the exact amount and date.

🔸 Note: You’re legally entitled to credit if TDS is in Form 26AS, even if not prefilled.

🔹 Option 2: Wait for Utility Update

• If you’re not in a hurry, you may wait for a week or two, as the ITR utilities are updated frequently, and this issue has been reported by many users.

• But don’t delay too long if your filing deadline is approaching (especially if you have tax liability or refund).

📤 If You Already Filed Without TDS Credit:

If you've already filed your ITR without claiming this TDS:

• File a Revised Return once the utility reflects the correct TDS, or

• Revise manually with the same method above.

💡 Pro Tip:

Take a screenshot or download your Form 26AS showing the TDS credited, in case the CPC or AO questions it later.

🧾 Summary:

This one is frustrating and very common at the start of the filing season.

Two things to check:
- **Is the TDS in your AIS?** Go to incometax.gov.in > AIS and look under TDS/TCS Information. If your deductor filed their TDS return, it will appear there even if the offline utility has not pulled it in yet.
- **Form 26AS vs AIS mismatch**: sometimes the utility pulls from 26AS but your deductor updated TRACES late. In that case, enter the TDS details manually in the TDS schedule and claim credit. The return will still process correctly.

The utility prefill for AY 2026-27 is still being updated as deductors file their Q4 returns. By mid-June, most data should sync automatically.

Apparently this is a common problem in the ITR utility/portal. In such a case, if the TDS is already validly reflected in Form 26AS or AIS, then the details of TDS can be manually entered into the respective schedule of the ITR rather than waiting for auto-import. This has been an issue for many taxpayers where they have seen a mismatch between the prefilled data and the Form 26AS. 

Before filing, verify:

• TAN of the deductor
• TDS amount
• Deducted TDS is shown in the column marked as 'Income against which TDS was deducted'.
• Details in Form 26AS/AIS refers to data that has been displayed in Form 26AS/AIS.

The credit can be generally claimed as long as the TDS is available in the Form 26AS. If it still doesn't display automatically, it is typically easiest to enter it manually.
