   • Sec 199, Income-tax Act 1961TDS deducted and paid to the government is treated as tax paid on your behalf and credited as per the Rules
3. A

   Analysis

   Give your employer a copy of your PAN card and ask for a PAN correction in the relevant quarters. If the wrong PAN belongs to someone else, that person may have claimed the credit, which makes the correction harder, so move fast. Until it is fixed, your return will show a credit mismatch. Do not claim credit in your return that you cannot show in Form 26AS without keeping proof ready.

   3. 3Check Form 26AS after processing.
   4. 4Keep payslips and Form 16 as proof meanwhile.
