2-Aug-2016: The TRACES web-site gives error if you try to generate 26AS as text format. If you choose PDF format, it pops up a dialog saying you should choose HTML format. The HTML format shows correctly in browser but cannot be saved or printed correctly. In a country that prides itself on its IT knowledge and manpower, why can’t the IT department fix such an obvious problem on a site that is used by millions of people?
Income tax department has made the entire process cumbersome. As usual the income tax dept has complicated this process also and i hope they will continue this in the future!!!
