How is Form 26AS important to a deductor and tax payer?

  • The tax deducted / collected by the Deductor / Collector has been deposited to the account of the government
  • The Deductor / Collector has accurately filed the TDS / TCS return giving details of the tax deducted/collected on your behalf
  • Bank has properly furnished the details of the tax deposited by you
  • This consolidated tax statement (Form 26AS) is a proof of tax deducted / collected on your behalf and the tax directly paid by you
