My broker statement shows dividend income, but AIS still looks incomplete. Do dividend entries usually take more time to reflect during filing season?

I earned around ₹7 lakh this year through YouTube AdSense and sponsorships. Most payments came directly into my bank account. Which ITR form are creators usually filing now?

I earned around ₹7 lakh this year through YouTube AdSense and sponsorships. Most payments came directly into my bank account. Which ITR form are creators usually filing now?

Filing season has started and ITR-1 is already live, but my company said Form 16 will only be issued next month. Can salaried employees file before receiving Form 16 if all salary credits are visible in bank statements?

My salary details are visible properly, but savings account interest and one FD interest entry are still not showing in AIS. Is this normal during the initial weeks of filing season?

I sold startup ESOP shares during FY 2025-26 and also have salary income. Will this definitely require ITR-2 once it gets released?

My startup recently allowed ESOP exercise at ₹120 per share while the latest FMV is around ₹500. HR mentioned tax applies on the difference itself. Does this mean I’ll pay tax even before selling shares? What happens if startup valuation drops later?

My Form 16 salary is around ₹12 lakh, but AIS is showing nearly ₹13.5 lakh because of FD interest, dividends, and one stock redemption I forgot about. Since the department now tracks AIS more closely, how risky is it to file ITR using only Form 16 details?

I pay 55k in rent including 7k in maintenance. So my actual rent is 48k. Do i still need to file 26QC ?

Second, my landlord has not renewed my lease for over 1 year. I continue to pay the same rent on time. Will there be a problem in terms of tax filing and seeking HRA ? I fill out the rental payment sheet and landlord signs off on it.

Can someone advise ?

I paid the TDS challan for purchase of immovable property under Section 194-IA in April 2026. The payment was successfully made however the seller details were not linked at the time of payment.

Situation:

• TDS challan has been paid successfully for the last instalment of a property purchase
• Assessment Year: 2027-28
• Payment mode: Net Banking
• This is the 3rd and last instalment, previous two installments 26QB forms were filed successfully

Issue: I am unable to file Form 26QB with the seller details against the already paid challan as the portal does not seem to provide a straightforward option to link the seller's PAN to the paid challan. I have also registered on TRACES but the 26QB correction option was not immediately visible.

Questions:

1. How can the seller's PAN be linked to an already paid TDS challan?
2. Is there a way to file Form 26QB against an existing paid challan without making a fresh payment?
3. Will the TDS credit reflect correctly in the seller's Form 26AS once the form is filed?

Any guidance on the steps to resolve this would be greatly appreciated.
