When a tenant deducts TDS on rent, the rent shows in your AIS and Form 26AS. If you left it out, the department sees unreported house property income.

Provisions

Sec 22, Income-tax Act 1961 (now Sec 20, Income-tax Act 2025); Sec 24(a), Income-tax Act 1961 (now Sec 22(1)(a), Income-tax Act 2025); Sec 139(8A), Income-tax Act 1961 (now Sec 263(6), Income-tax Act 2025)

Analysis

Say rent was ₹6,00,000 and TDS was ₹12,000. After 30% standard deduction and municipal taxes, taxable house property income may be around ₹4,20,000. Add it, claim the TDS, and pay any balance tax. File a revised or updated return and respond to the campaign.
