CPC gives credit only for TDS that appears in Form 26AS. If 26AS shows less than Form 16, the employer's quarterly TDS statement is missing or wrong, and only the employer can fix it by filing a correction statement.

Analysis
Form 16 Part A is generated from TRACES, so check whether your Part A matches 26AS; if Part A also shows ₹60,000, the employer short-reported in some quarter. A gap of ₹24,000 in Q4 often means the last quarter's statement was not filed or carries a challan error. Ask HR for the quarter-wise TDS details and request a correction. Until 26AS updates, a return claiming ₹84,000 will draw a demand.
