Ever spotted a mismatch between Form 16 and your ITR? Small slip-ups like that can delay refunds or trigger notices — but they’re easy to fix. Here’s a quick before-and-after you can relate to:
Before: Mismatched salary figures → Wrong taxable income → TDS mismatch and delayed refund. After: Reconcile Form 16 with bank salary credits, correct exemptions, file revised ITR if needed → Accurate refund, lower audit risk.
What it means: Double-check employer declarations, HRA claims, and TDS entries before you hit submit.
What you must do: 1) Match Form 16 with payslips and bank statement. 2) Verify TDS in Form 26AS. 3) Claim correct deductions (Sec 80C, HRA). 4) File a revised return if you find errors.
Common mistakes: Ignoring employer reimbursements, missing exempt allowances, and not updating income from other sources.
Pro tip: Keep paystubs and Form 26AS handy when filing — it saves hours and reduces risk.
