Does AIS Show TDS and TCS?
AIS can contain information relating to tax deducted at source and tax collected at source. Taxpayers should reconcile these amounts with their other tax records before claiming credit in the ITR.
Quick Answer
AIS can contain TDS and TCS information. Reconcile these amounts with Form 26AS and the relevant certificates or records before claiming tax credit in the ITR.
What TDS or TCS Information Should I Check?
Review the relevant tax deducted or collected information shown in AIS and compare it with Form 26AS, certificates, employer or payer records, and other supporting documents as applicable.
Why Can TDS Information Differ?
Differences may arise because reporting and corrections occur at different times. A taxpayer should investigate the underlying record instead of assuming that one statement automatically overrides all others.
What About TDS Credit in the ITR?
TDS or TCS credit should be claimed based on the applicable tax records and filing rules. Reconcile the information before submitting the return.
What If TDS Is Missing?
Check the relevant payer or deductor records and other tax statements. If required, contact the deductor or follow the applicable correction process rather than simply assuming the credit is unavailable permanently.
Important
AIS is one source of tax information. Keep the supporting tax documents used to determine the credit claimed in the ITR.
