Form 16, 26AS and AIS
Three downloads. Most notices are a mismatch among them.
- Form 16 — employer certificate of salary and TDS. You get it from HR, not the portal.
- Form 26AS — tax credit statement on the e-filing / traces side. What the department thinks was deposited.
- AIS / TIS — Annual Information Statement. Interest, shares, GST turnover, foreign remittances the system already saw.
If 26AS shows TDS your ITR omitted, you leave money on the table. If AIS shows a sale your ITR omitted, you invite a notice. We match all three before submit.
