What do the summary cards (Total TDS as per 26AS, Total TDS as per Books, Matched TDS, Difference, Unmatched – 26AS TDS, Unmatched – Books TDS) mean?

Last updated on Apr 14, 2026

Short Answer: Each card shows a high-level reconciliation metric: totals from 26AS and Books, the amount matched between them, the net Difference, and totals/counts of unmatched transactions.

PreRequisites

  1. Report detail page is open and data has finished loading.

Steps

  1. Locate the summary cards below the assessee details on the report page.
    You see six metric cards (26AS total, Books total, Matched, Difference, Unmatched – 26AS, Unmatched – Books).

  2. Read the value and the small note under each card showing counts (e.g., "4 parties, 1,286 transactions").
    You understand how many parties and transactions contribute to each total.

  3. Use the 'Matched'/'Unmatched' toggle and the table below to investigate the items that make up each card.
    You can drill into the matched table or unmatched sections for details.

  4. If totals look unexpected, check for processing state ("Normalizing books TDS data") or open the unmatched sections to find missing items.
    You identify whether processing or unmatched transactions cause the discrepancy.

Troubleshooting

  1. Summary totals differ from what you expect.
    LikelyCause: Reconciliation is still running (data normalizing) or there are unmatched transactions.
    Action: Wait for processing to finish, then expand matched and unmatched sections to inspect contributing transactions.

Note: The 'Matched TDS' card includes a textual note like "(4 parties, 48 26AS transactions matched with 52 book transactions)" to show matched counts.
