Form 26AS TDS mismatch: get the deductor to correct its TDS return

  • Your employer, bank or client deducted tax but Form 26AS shows less, so the department will not give you full credit.
  • Deadline: Best before filing the ITR. Deductors file quarterly TDS statements by 31 July, 31 October, 31 January and 31 May and can file a correction statement on TRACES at any time after that. For AY 2026-27 a revised return can pick up late credit until 31 March 2027.
  • Done in 2 working days for the mismatch report and request; 26AS update depends on the deductor
  • Prepared by your Savvy, checked by a CA

Answer in brief

Your employer, bank or client deducted tax but Form 26AS shows less, so the department will not give you full credit. We find which deductor and quarter is short, tell the deductor exactly what to correct on TRACES, and file or revise your return once the credit shows.

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