Just out of curiosity and to learn more, for past few years, I have been calculating tax, making whatever extra payment other than TDS online, filling return forms and submitting tax return myself. I am always excited to try new ways government implements.
I registered myself 3 years back to view tax credits paid by my employer as TDS. You can also register here : Check you tax credits. You can also download Form 26 AS here and see how much tax has been deposited on your name from your employer or any other firm.
You can view it to verify if the tax payments made by you or TDS deducted from salary or interest etc are correctly reported to the income tax department. You can also check income tax refund from previous year in the same form.
Now the same can also be checked from View Tax credit statement (Form 26 AS) section under “My Account” menu in Income tax e-filing website after login.

Pankaj Sir,
Some of my friends are working on commission basis where their employers deduct taxes at source. But there is allegations that the amount of TDS shown in their Form 16A doesn't reflect (i.e. mismatch) whiling claiming refund through ITR. How can I help them? Shd they apply for 26AS individually or there is any way for me to help them through internet promptly.
@Firoz
They can see their form-26AS online to check whether employer has deposited same amount with IT department as stated on form-16A.
If it does not match, employer may be in trouble if somebody complains to income tax authorities.
my friend running small scrap business with saving account.want to know how he can file the IT return as a legal process and he dont have any records of scrap purchasing and he buys all scrapr from local scrap shop..thanks for your assistance
@Shakeel
Your friend would need to file income tax return with ITR-4 as he has income from business.
He would need to maintain profit/loss accounts and shows same for income tax computation.
If needed, income tax department may ask for bills/payment receipts for expenses done to run business.
HELLO DEAR
MY COMPANY HAS DEDUCTED MY TDS AND TOTAL TDS IS 29500/-
BUT IN INCOME TAX DEPARTMENT THEY TOLD ME YOUR TDS IS SHOWING ONLY 4447/- MY COMPANY IS TELLING ME THEY HAVE PAID FULL TDS AMOUNT AND ALSO GIVEN A TDS CERTIFICATE.
SO PLZ HELP ME TO WHOM I SHOULD CONTACT OR MEET REGARD THIS AS I URGENTLY NEED MY FULL REFUND OF ASSESMENT YEAR 11/12
MY EMAIL ID IS otshaider81@yahoo.com
@Haider
You need to write to assessing officer showing Form-16 as proof and claim for refund.
Sir,
While trying to view Tax Credit Stt thru 26AS, I found my PAN is already registered. I had never tried for a 26AS registration and don't even know anyone doing it on my behalf. I don't know the password, nor do i know the secret answer. How can I view the 26AS and change the password? Can I find out or chase the one who did it unauthorisedly/secretly?
@Firoz
In case you filed income tax return online sometime or asked somebody else to do it for you, an account might have been created at that time.
You may also view Form26AS on this link: https://onlineservices.tin.nsdl.com/TIN/JSP/security/PanLogin.jsp. One time registration would cost Rs 15.
On same can also be viewed in online bank logins of ICICI, SBI etc.
Thank you very much for your information. Before closing this chapter, I want to know one thing more: once registered by someone else, can i again apply for a fresh registration thru https://onlineservices.tin.nsdl.com/TIN/JSP/security/PanLogin.jsp. by visiting a nearest TIN-FC @Rs.15? If so which registration will remain in force? By any means I want my 26AS safe n secured so that it can't be seen by any one else.
@Firoz
I am not sure whether they would reset your password by re-applying.
Please let us know if you have this issue only with form26As website (https://onlineservices.tin.nsdl.com/TIN/JSP/security/PanLogin.jsp) or also with income tax efiling website (https://incometaxindiaefiling.gov.in/portal/index.do) also.
Login for both is different and resolution would also be separate.
Sure sir, I wll let you know this issue at the earliest.
The have downloaded the red coloured ITR Acknowledgement in it's pdf format. You have been developing so many softwares related to income tax etc. May I request you to develop the said acknwldgment in word or excel format? I feel the utility of ur work.
@Firoz
You will have to use same red ITR acknowledgement form only as its print would be computer readable due to background coding.
My Income tax got deducted this March 2012. I had made investments but failed to declare those at our organization. Is there any way that I can submit the investment proofs in April 2012 or can I get the deducted tax back by filing the Income tax return and submitting investments proofs while filing? If yes, what is the time period for getting the refund?
@Bhagyashree
You can claim for refund while filing income tax return. Last date of return filing for financial year 2011-12 would be 31st July, 2012.
You should declare your 80C, 80D etc deductions in income tax return form, there is no need to attach any investment proofs along with return.
Refund may be expected in 2-3 months after filing if its done online.
i want to submit on line IT-V for F.Y 2008-09 in april 2012, pls tell me the path or procedure.
Thanks
@Balbir
It cannot be done online now as assessment year has ended. You would need to go to income tax office and submit same.
SIR, SINCE FY 2009-10 MY COMPANY DEDUCT MY TDS AND ISSUE THE 16A CERTIFICATE, BUT I NEVER FILE. CAN I FILE MYSELF IN ONLINE. IF IT IS POSSIBLE FROM WHICH FINANCIAL YEAR IS FILED. PLEASE ADVISE ME THE TAX SAVING WAYS.
@Arjunan
You can read here for online income tax return filing: http://www.pankajbatra.com/india/file-income-tax-return-online-yourself/
I was working in govt job in 2011 and deducted TDS as per rule by current employer. At the same same time, I got arrears after TDS of 6th pay commission by my previous employer in 2011 only. and now i'm working in pvt company, where once again my employer deducted my TDS. Now, I would like to know that whether, I have to fill separate form 16 from different employers or should give the previous details to current employer for the same. What should I do??
@Ranjan
You would get form-16 from all earlier employers who have deducted taxes.
You would need to file single income tax return combining all yearly incomes from different employers.
Hello Shri.Pankaj Batra Sir,
If one file the Income Tax Return online and also got the Refund online. How he will get the Assessment Order? There is any way to get/see the Assessment order online or he will have to write to Income Department. If yes, where he will write?
Thanks and Regards,
@kaushalak
@Arun
If income tax return is filed online, assessment details are sent on same email id which is used while filing return. Also a copy of same is also sent on address updated with PAN.
Shri. Pankaj Sir,
Thanks for your response but I neither receive the assessment details on my Email nor by post on the address recorded in PAN. In this case how I can get the duplicate Assessment details?
Regards,
@kaushalak
@Arun
You should write a request to assessing officer for providing assessment details.
If they are unable to help, file a RTI to get same.
