Form 26AS, also known as Annual Statement, provides a consolidated record of all tax-related information such as TDS, TCS, and refund etc. associated with a PAN (Permanent Account Number). This form and its use by tax authorities/tax payers is governed by Section 203AA, Rule 31AB of the Income Tax Act, 1961.

Step 7: To open the document you will be required to enter a password. The password is your DOB in DDMMYYY format. For example: If your date of birth is 15th April, 1985 then your password would be 15041985.

Form 26AS for each financial assessment year is divided into multiple parts. The tax credits (to government tax authorities) appearing in Part A, A1, and B of this form are given on the basis of details furnished by the deductor/collector in the TDS/TCS statement filed by them. Brief details of the sections are provided below:

Part A of the form contains details of the Tax Deducted at Source (TDS) in Indian currency (INR). This section of the form exclusively highlights the TDS deducted from your salary/pension income, TDS deducted by the banks on the interest generated from your investments.

This section of the form is specially kept for the details of TDS from Form 15G/15H. This portion of the form shows transactions in financial institutions such as banks where the individual has submitted Form 15G/15H. TDS, in these cases, would be zero because the individual has already submitted Form 15G/ Form15H to the institution concerned, and they would not deduct any tax based on the information in this form. This section also enables you to keep a track of the earned interest that has not been taxed.

This section of the form contains details of TDS credit applicable to sale of house property. Part 2 of the form would show a TDS credit on behalf of the seller of a property and can be adjusted against the total tax liability of the property seller. The rate of TDS applicable to the proceeds on sale of a property is 1% as of FY 2022-23.

This section of the form is kept for the details of the Tax Collected at Source (TCS). This tax is collected by the seller from the buyer at the time of sale of specified category of goods (such as liquor, parking lot, toll plaza, etc.) The amount is deposited by the collector to the government on a quarterly basis.

Part C: Form 26AS Part C discusses and maintains the details of tax paid other than TDS or TCS. If you have paid advance tax or self-assessment tax, it will be listed here. Whenever you deposit advance tax /self-assessment tax directly to the bank, it will upload this information within three days after the cheque has been cleared.

Part D: This part of the income tax Form 26AS keeps the details of paid refunds. All the refunds that you have applied for and received will be listed under this section of the annual tax statement. It may be helpful to keep a track of this information to check if you have been paid for all of the tax refunds you have applied for.

Part E: The Part E of the Form 26AS is responsible for keeping the details of the Annual Information Return (AIR) transactions. If you make some high-value transactions, such as a purchase of property, investment in mutual funds, etc., these transactions are automatically reported to the Income Tax Department by banks and other authorities through the AIR.

Key details featured on Form 26AS include tax amount that has been received by the government in lieu of TDS/TCS along with consolidated information about all of your income sources including your monthly salary, pension, income from investments, income for professional services, etc.

Apart from this, the form also reflects details of the Annual Information Return (AIR), which is filed by different entities based on what an individual has invested or spent on, mostly for high value transactions. If the total amount deposited in a savings account exceeds Rs. 10 lakh, the bank will send an AIR. The same holds true if an amount more than Rs. 2 lakh is invested in a mutual fund or spent on a credit card.

Form 26AS tends to serve both the citizen and the government. An income taxpayer is no longer required to attach a photocopy of the TDS certificate along with Income Tax Return as long as he or she has Form 26AS. The Income Tax Department will allow a taxpayer to claim the credit of taxes as reflected in his or her Form 26AS if no other payments are due from him or her as income tax (or interest thereon) payable to the Government.

Here is an example to illustrate how Form 26AS helps. Suppose Mr. Narayan wants to pay his annual income tax for his yearly salary of Rs. 4.8 lakh (Rs. 40,000 per month) and income of Rs. 2 lakh from other sources. Though his Form 16 tells him how much tax has been deducted by his employer, he has no idea of how much tax has been deducted from his other income by the payer.

However, all details of the Tax Deducted at Source (TDS) will be reflected in his Form 26AS that can be viewed on the Income Tax Department website. The form will show the TDS deducted by his employer as well as any other TDS deductions made by the payer of other income. This form will contain a quarterly account of the taxes paid on behalf of Mr. Narayan, and he will know exactly whether he needs to pay any more income tax or whether he is eligible for a refund.

In case of any kind of discrepancy between the TDS certificates and Form 26AS, inform your deductor and ask for the reasons for this discrepancy and get it corrected as soon as possible. Make sure the deductor has filed TDS using your PAN number and other details. In a lot of cases, if the TDS is filed under an incorrect PAN, it can result in a lot of problems for both the deductor and the income tax assessee.

It is true that you can gather all of the relevant information related to TDS in Form 26AS which is more than sufficient to file any income tax return. However, you cannot doubt the significance of a TDS Certificate. The rationale behind introducing Form 26AS is to enable the taxpayer to cross-check and thoroughly verify the details mentioned in his TDS certificates with those mentioned in Form 26AS and maintain transparency of information.

If you do not have a TDS certificate or Form 26AS, you will not be able to verify your details and find any mismatch that might have occurred. If you have both, you can compare the details and cross-check. In the case of a discrepancy, you can easily get it corrected.

Further, in the case of salaried persons, Form 26AS in itself is not sufficient to file income tax return since it does not show the breakup of your income and details of deductions claimed under Section 80C to Section 80U which are available in Form 16 i.e. TDS certificate. Therefore, you need a TDS certificate in addition to Form 26AS.

Once you are done filing your ITR, the income tax department processes the return submitted by you and sends you an intimation under section 143(1) of the Income Tax Act, which is to inform you that your return has been processed and whether you owe any tax or are supposed to get a refund. If the income tax department finds any discrepancy in the ITR or suspects any fraud/misreporting of income, it may issue a notice. There are various types of notices that can be issued for different purposes.

An income tax notice is a written communication sent by the Income Tax Department to a taxpayer alerting an issue with his tax account. The notice can be sent for different reasons like filing/ non-filing their income tax return, making the assessment, asking for certain details, etc.

The notices received by the taxpayer from the income tax department are present in encrypted form and are protected with a ITR filing notice password. This helps ensure that the taxpayer's sensitive and confidential information remains safe.

The password to open any income tax notice on your device is the same. You have to enter your PAN number in lowercase, followed by your date of birth, as mentioned on your PAN card in DDMMYYYY format.

If you download the statement in PDF form, it is always password protected. The password for opening AIS is the same as that of an income tax notice. You have to enter the PAN number in lowercase, followed by your date of birth in DDMMYYYY format.
