TDS Missing from Form 26AS: What to Check

Originally shared on 2026-10-14. This post relates to the periods and dates stated below.

TDS deducted from your salary or business receipts but missing from Form 26AS? Check the reporting before assuming the credit is available.

For FY 2025–26 / AY 2026–27, compare Form 16 or Form 16A with Form 26AS and your supporting records. Verify your PAN, the deductor’s TAN and the tax amount.

If the mismatch arises from the employer’s or payer’s TDS reporting, contact them to review and correct their TDS statement. Changing your income-tax return alone does not correct the deductor’s records.

After the correction is processed, check Form 26AS again. If your return has already been processed with reduced credit, review the appropriate rectification route and retain the supporting documents.
