Wrong entry in Form 26AS for Tax Deducted at Source

[Anonymous]

In my 26AS form giving details of tax deducted at source, there is TDS shown as deducted and credited to my PAN account by a bank on my deposit. But I do not have any deposit or any account with that bank. Then how such TDS shown in my name? What should I do in this regard since this is a false or wrong TDS shown in my favour?

You should make an enquiry with the bank concerned as to the details of the TDS. It is quite possible that this TDS might be by mistake since your PAN number might have been quoted wrongly by some other depositor, or may be the bank itself committed some mistake. If you bring it to the knowledge of the bank, they may correct their mistake and rectify the TDS Return to reflect the TDS against the correct PAN number.
