Form 16 Cross-Check

Enter the headline numbers from your employer's Form 16 + any income they don't know about (FD interest, freelance, capital gains). We'll tell you whether to expect a refund or owe additional tax via ITR.

Form 16 — employer-reported

Cross-check against Form 26AS / AIS on the IT portal

Deductions claimed

PPF / ELSS / EPF / LIC / home-loan principal

Income outside salary

Bank interest income — counts as 'Income from Other Sources'

Net taxable income from other sources

LTCG @ 12.5% above ₹1.25L (Sec 112A) or 20%/12.5% on property. Compute via /calculators/capital-gains-tax.

Additional tax owing

₹1,09,851

Your computed tax liability of ₹2,09,851 exceeds the TDS deducted (₹1,00,000). You need to pay self-assessment tax before filing ITR. Late payment after July 31 attracts Section 234A/B/C interest.

What to do next

  1. Cross-check Form 26AS + AIS on incometax.gov.in — your TDS deducted should match exactly. If it doesn't, employer hasn't deposited the TDS or a bank hasn't reported FD interest.
  2. Pay self-assessment tax (₹1,09,851) before filing ITR — Challan ITNS 280. Failure to pay by July 31 attracts interest @ 1%/month under Sec 234B.
  3. File ITR-1 (if only salary + FD interest + 1 house) or ITR-2 (if capital gains / multiple properties / foreign assets).
  4. E-verify within 30 days of ITR submission — via Aadhaar OTP, net banking, or DSC. ITR is invalid without verification.

Limitations:This tool excludes surcharge brackets (10% above ₹50L taxable, 15% above ₹1cr, 25% above ₹2cr, 37% above ₹5cr), Section 234A/B/C interest, 80E (education loan), 80G (donations), 80U (disability), 80EE/80EEA (first-time home buyer additional).
