This is the fastest way to confirm your tax money actually hit the government’s account. Don’t skip this.

1. Go to the Portal: Open the official Income Tax e-filing portal. That link is: https://www.incometax.gov.in/iec/foportal/

2. Log In: Use your PAN as the User ID, your password, and the CAPTCHA.

3. Find the Menu: Once logged in, go to the ‘e-File’ tab in the main menu.

4. Select the Form: From the dropdown menu, select ‘Income Tax Returns,’ and then click ‘View Form 26AS (Tax Credit).’

5. Redirect Confirm: You’ll see a disclaimer. Click ‘Confirm’. This will immediately redirect you to the government’s TRACES (TDS-CPC) website. Don’t panic; it’s the right place.

6. Agree & Proceed: On the TRACES site, check the box to agree to the usage policy and click ‘Proceed.’

7. Select View Link: Click the prominent link that says ‘View Tax Credit (Form 26AS)’.

8. Final Selection: Choose the Assessment Year (AY) you need, and then select the format.

   • For a quick look, use HTML.

   • To save or file, select HTML again, then click ‘View/Download,’ and finally ‘Export as PDF’. (The password for the PDF is your Date of Birth in the DDMMYYYY format.)

End. . .
