What is Form 26AS reconciliation?

Form 26AS is a consolidated tax credit statement showing all TDS deducted on your PAN by various deductors. Reconciling it with your books ensures you claim all TDS credits when filing ITR and identifies cases where deductors haven't deposited TDS correctly.

What happens if TDS in my books doesn't match 26AS?

If you claim TDS credit in your ITR that doesn't appear in 26AS, the IT department will reject the credit and raise a demand. You must follow up with the deductor to correct their TDS return (24Q/26Q) before claiming the credit.

What file format does the tool accept for 26AS?

The tool accepts Form 26AS downloaded from the IT portal in text (.txt) or PDF format, and your TDS receivable ledger in Excel or CSV.

Does this work for both individuals and companies?

Yes. The tool works for salaried individuals (reconciling Form 16 TDS with 26AS), freelancers (194J TDS), and companies (multiple deductors across 194C, 194J, 194H, 194I sections).
