Banks deduct TDS on interest only if the interest amount for an FD is greater than Rs.10,000 per year. The rate of TDS deducted by banks is 10% on interest income, provided your PAN number is available with the bank. If the bank doesn’t have your PAN in its records, TDS is deducted at 20% on interest income. If you submit the Form 15G/Form 15H to the bank declaring that since your taxable income for the year will be below the minimum tax slab, the bank shouldn’t deduct TDS on your FD Interest.
The Form 26AS includes a record of all the TDS payments deducted on your Fixed Deposits. The Form26AS shows the TDS on the Fixed Deposit.For example,the image below shows Form 26AS when interest on Fixed Deposit earned is 47854 with TDS deducted as Rs 4785 ( 10% of 47854)

thankyou so much for sharing such information. this article has helped a lot in knowing how to agree to income tax notice, due to variance in income and file revised return. keep writing.
Basically i forgot to add 2000 rs from previous employer and some allowances were not mentioned in ITR2. I have filed a revised return now.
In e proceedings i want to select partially disagree. When i enter into that page what i am supposed to enter here?
If i don’t provide any details it gives message ‘Please fill salary table’.
If i provide detail of allowances (which is equivalent to total variance) i get error message ‘receipts explained in response table should not exceed total variance in salary’.
Please can you advise what should be done
Sir it is difficult to answer without having facts and seeing notice.
Please reply as per the notice only.
You can contact a CA
Or you can send your details to bemoneyaware@gmail.com we shall look into for Rs 250.
Hi, Thanks for the article. I have received notice U/s.143(1)(a) for mismatch between ITR filed and Form 26AS for A.Y.17-18. This is because of non mention of FD interest in my IT Return which is reflected in 26AS. Now i have filed a revised return after showing FD Interest. But when i am trying to “agree” in e-proceedings under “Submit your response” acknowledgement number of revised return is not popping up because of which i am not able to submit my response. I am not even able to manually enter the acknowledge number. Please help me in submitting the response
Same Issue I am facing
Not able to write revised acknowledgment number.
I face the same issue! Any suggestions on this ?
I assume that 30 days limit is not over.
Can you send the steps you followed and snapshot to bemoneyaware@gmail.com
Is 30 days limit over?
No, limit is not yet over..
Can you list the steps you followed to file ITR?
I think the ack no. is not popping up because the revised return is only submitted , it would be considered as “filed” only when “verification” is done when
ITR Form V reaches banglore or when e-verification is done. Until verification of the submitted itr is done, it would not be taken as “filed”.Hence no ack
number comes up. I presume that is the reason.
Hi, thanks for this article very helpful. I have a similar listed query, after reading your article, still the other allowances section 10 is not being considered for tax exemption and tax payable amount is reflected, please suggest at earliest as I have only two days left :-(. following is the query I am also facing from already listed comments:
I have a IT query as 143 (1)a vi, mentioning that income as per Form26AS has not been included in computing a total income in the return. If the amount credited (minus) the income chargeable under head salaries varies due to HRA, LTA and conveyance allowance and medical reimbursment (variance arises because of this).
In ITR2, if you fill the amount credited as per 26AS in both section Salary schedule (along with section 10 exemptions) and TDS section, the ITR-2 Tax calculation sheet do not take the exempted amount of HRA, Conveyance and LTA. Therefore the difference in tax due is also high.
What to do.. You have to agree or disagree to the notice.?

Siva please go through our article Income Tax Notice for Inconsistency in Salary Income and Form 26AS for examples on how to solve it.
Ok, Thank you for the suggestion.
– In the suggested link article it says “For example: If a Return of Income for the Financial Year 2015-16 or Assessment Year 2016-17 is filed by the assessee on 28th July 2016 (before the due date of filing of Income Tax Return i.e.5 th Aug 2016), and he later discovers some mistake, he can file a Revised Return of Income Tax anytime up to 31st March 2017 or before the completion of Assessment whichever is earlier.”
-My case is for FY 2016-17 (Original filing of ITR-2 was done on 28 th July, 2017 before due date). Can I file a revised ITR-2 on May 31st 2018?
(as I received a IT mismatch notice on April 7, 2018 -for salary mismatch in 26AS total amount credited Vs ITR TDS section income under head salaries ).
You have received IT mismatch notice and you agree with it hence you have to revise your ITR within 30 days of receiving the notice under section 139(5)
You are replying to notice so can you can revise ITR within 30 days of receipt of notice
If i disagree in the same case above as the difference was HRA/Convenience allowance/professional tax…….still do i need to file revised return
If You disagree then you don’t have to file revised return.
Just attach the appropriate documents to reason you are disagreeing
There is no option to attach any documents when you use disagree, only option is provide reconciliation of income on income tax website interface.
Also like to know any consequences of selection of disagree and what will be the further action from tax office or from my end.
If you disagree then the ball is in tax department.
No one is sure how they would proceed!
But why do you want to disagree? Why don’t you want to file revised return?
I have already disagree and submitted my response…it will be advisable I file revised returns even after disagree ?
Honestly, no one knows how this will work out, there are no examples to look out for.
Now you don’t owe Income Tax department any tax right.
And you have already disagreed and submitted your response.
So you can let Income Tax Department come back to you.
The other option is revising ITR and rearranging information.
No one is stopping you from revising your return.
Just check if you are allowed to revise return.
So it is a call you have to make.
So what are you going to decide?
Just an update…in above case my return has clear by tax department….conclusion is after disagreeing with information about the differences in amount (between 26AS and income disclose in return)….tax department is fine with such details to clear your returns.
I have got notice under 143(1)(a) due to variance in income as a mismatch with 26AS. However, while revising my return I noticed that I have paid excess tax of around 14000. Now in the revised return I am having a Refund of 14000 and while trying to e-file the return the option is asking me whether I am filing under Sec 119(2)(b). Should I say ‘Yes’ to this and file under 119 or I can say ‘No’ and continue to file the return? Also please advise if it is OK to file a revised return with refund under this e-proceeding option
If you want to file income tax returns for a financial year, whose due date of filing income tax return and due date of filing belated income tax return has elapsed, you need to file income tax return u/s 119(2)(b).
For Return filed under section select Revised 139(5).
For Whether original or revised return select R-Revised.
Yes you can claim your refund as you are revising your return if they can be verified using Form26AS

Hi,
I have received intimation from IT dept for Income as per Form 26AS which has not been included in computing the total income in the return-143(1)(a)(vi). I want to disagree with variance as it is due to amount included for Allowance to the extent exempt u/s 10 and Deductions – Tax employment. But when checked on efiling site unable to find these options while disagreeing the same. Please advise.
Wait for a day or two. Please go through our article Income Tax Notice for Inconsistency in Salary Income and Form 26AS for more details on understanding the problem and how to revise the return.
Very useful article and very elaborate. I was able to revise my return due to mismatch in income from 26AS form for AY 2017-18. I had originally filled on 8/5/2017 using the then 26AS which subsequently got changed. So if the basis for OI for filing is 26AS, better wait till end of May. Thanks a lot once again for this article.

Hi,
I have no other income than bank interest income . Mistakenly I have shown that income as Salary instead of other sources and now I got notice u/s 143(1)(a) for other source income mismatch to 26AS. I think I should file revised return, but should I agree or partially agree to this notice? Please advise.
I am in similar situation please reply..
I have mismatch between Assessment Year 2017-18 filing and 26AS (FD interested not updated Rs. 1992). if I add 1992 in other source, my taxable income will be more than 5 lakhs I did not get Tax Credit (Sec 87A) 5000. Since i have to Pay around Rs. 6000. Please suggest how to avoid this situation. And also please let me know is any possible to pay now Charity donation for Last Assessment Year (80G/80GGA). Kindly advice.
Sorry you would have to pay the tax due.
You cannot pay to charity for the earlier year.
Sir,
if I invest Rs 400000 as fd at the rate of 7% for only 180days and total interest will be almost Rs 7000 at maturity.then TDS will be deducted.please inform me.it is very important for me.
FD interest is taxable as per your income slab.
If your total income (including FD interest) – 80C deductions is less than 2.5 lakhs(basic exemption limit) then FD interest is not taxable.
Otherwise FD interest is taxable as Income from Other Sources.
The tax on FD interest is as per your income slab which for current financial year is given below.
Income Tax Slab Tax Rate
Income up to Rs 2,50,000* No tax
Income from Rs 2,50,000 – Rs 5,00,000 5%
Income from Rs 5,00,000 – 10,00,000 20%
Income more than Rs 10,00,000 30%
