Find

Tax payments such as advance tax and self-assessment tax appear in Form 26AS in the tax paid part and in AIS. Check each challan for the right assessment year and type before claiming.

Provisions

Sec 211 (now Sec 408); Sec 140A (now Sec 266); Sec 285BB (now Sec 510)

Analysis

If you paid ₹30,000 on 15 December 2025 for AY 2026-27, it should appear for that year. A challan paid with the wrong AY, for example AY 2025-26, will not show for AY 2026-27 and cannot be claimed without correction by the Jurisdictional AO. Enter BSR code, date and serial number exactly as on the challan.
