Updated . Every paid answer is checked by a CA. Free AI answers are labelled until a CA verifies them.
Facts
TDS statements for January to March are due by 31 May, so Form 26AS usually becomes fuller in June. AIS is updated as reporting entities file their statements during the year.
Provisions and law
- Sec 285BB (now Sec 510)Annual Information Statement of reported transactions and taxes
- Sec 200(3) (now Sec 397(3)(b))Quarterly TDS statements by deductors
Analysis
Downloading in April often shows incomplete data. For AY 2026-27, data for January to March 2026 would mostly be in by mid June 2026. Check again a day before filing, since late or corrected statements keep coming. If filing much later, for example a belated return in November, download fresh copies then.
Conclusion
- Download AIS and 26AS in mid June
- Prepare the reconciliation
- Download again just before filing
- Update the return for any new entries
