AIS shows what was reported to the department. Tiny differences from rounding or a few days of accrual are common. Report your best figure and keep a note; for small amounts, using the higher figure avoids a query.

Analysis

If the bank certificate says ₹18,400 and AIS shows ₹18,612, many people simply report ₹18,612 to avoid a mismatch flag; the tax on ₹212 is at most about ₹66. For larger gaps, find the reason. Do not give feedback for tiny differences unless you are sure the AIS figure is wrong.
