ITR

Prefilled ITR-1 data looks wrong

Updated . Every paid answer is checked by a CA. Free AI answers are labelled until a CA verifies them.

Find

Yes. Prefilled figures are a starting point. You can edit them, but your final figures should match your documents, and big differences from AIS should be explained or corrected at source.

Provisions

Rule 12, Income-tax Rules 1962 (now Rule 164, Income-tax Rules 2026); Sec 285BB, Income-tax Act 1961 (now Sec 510)

Analysis

If AIS shows savings interest of ₹18,000 but your bank certificate shows ₹12,000, report ₹12,000 and give AIS feedback that the entry is wrong. If AIS shows salary of ₹10,40,000 but Form 16 says ₹10,00,000, check if a bonus was paid in a different month. Large unexplained gaps can lead to a notice.

Close

  1. Compare each prefilled figure with your documents.
  2. Edit to the correct figure.
  3. Give AIS feedback for wrong entries.
  4. Keep proof of the correct figure.
  5. File only after the figures reconcile.
