Common Income Tax Return Mismatches That May Trigger Notices for FY 25-26

Taxpayers filing Income Tax Returns (ITR) for FY 25-26 should carefully reconcile reported income and tax credits with official records like Form 16, Form 26AS, and the Annual Information Statement (AIS). Common mismatches include discrepancies in salary income, unreported interest from bank deposits, and inconsistencies in TDS or TCS claims. Experts advise thorough verification and disclosure of all financial details to avoid scrutiny or notices from the Income Tax Department, which increasingly uses automated data matching and AI-driven assessments.
