    My 26AS shows interest payment made to me by a bank which is not tallying with the actual interest paid by the bank to me . However TDS is not deducted as I have submitted the Forme H. Please let me know how to correct the mismatch. Can I file the return without rectifying the mismatch in the form 26AS.

    • The mismatch might be due to Interest accrued but not paid by bank and the interest accrued and paid. Its suggested to declare the total interest accrued.
