What is Form 26AS & how to view it online ?
Form 26AS is a consolidated statement
which reflects all the advance tax paid by you personally or through TDS/TCS
way. The best part about it is that you can view it online by just quoting your
PAN Number. You can view your Form 26AS online or download it in PDF or Excel
format, but for that you need to register on the income tax website.
Why do we need Form 26AS ?
We all check our bank accounts when
some one deposits money into it . Once we see that the amount is matching, we
feel at peace and confirmed that there is no issue . Now in the same way
through out the year, we might pay the tax in parts . It can be in form of
Advance tax cut by our companies, TDS cut by the bank on your fixed
deposits , TDS cut by some third party who is making payment to us . They
all pay this tax on our behalf to tax department and it is linked to our PAN
card.
Now at the end of the year before filing for
tax returns, we might want to check that how
much tax is already paid by us through different ways and then we might want to
pay additional remaining tax or ask for a refund in case we see that we paid
more tax in a year.
An important point to note is, do not
disclose your PAN information to someone else , otherwise it becomes a security
issue . Others can also view your Form 26AS and hence find out how much tax you
paid .
