ITR
Checking prefilled data in the ITR
Updated . Every paid answer is checked by a CA. Free AI answers are labelled until a CA verifies them.
Facts
The portal prefills the return from TIS and other data. Prefilled figures are a starting point, not a final answer. You remain responsible for the correctness of your return.
Provisions and law
- Sec 285BB (now Sec 510)Annual Information Statement of reported transactions and taxes
- Sec 143(1)(a) (now Sec 270(2))CPC can adjust the return for mismatches with information such as Form 26AS, after giving notice
Analysis
Prefill may show savings interest of ₹6,000 when you actually earned ₹9,500 across accounts, or miss a capital gain that the broker reported late. It may also include an entry you have disputed. Edit each figure to your actual records and keep notes for changes. Deductions such as 80C are not fully prefilled and must be entered.
Conclusion
- Open the prefilled ITR and go schedule by schedule
- Compare each figure with your records and AIS
- Edit to actual figures and add missing items
- Save a note of changes from prefill
