Form 26AS Download: TDS Credit Ledger
Download Form 26AS from TRACES: Part A TDS, Part B tax paid, Part F SFT — reconcile before first resident ITR.
The 60-second version
Form 26AS is your TDS ledger — returning NRIs must download annual statement and match AIS before ITR to avoid 143(1) demands.
Form 26AS Download for Returning NRIs: TDS Credit Reconciliation 2026
Form 26AS aggregates TDS credits, advance tax, and high-value transactions reported under SFT.
Banks often deduct 30% on NRO interest until resident Form 15G/15H is filed — 26AS shows the credit to reclaim via ITR.
Verify current rules with official portals before filing.
