After hearing rival contentions, we are of the opinion that the figure mentioned in Form No. 16, issued by the employer of the assessee has to prevails over any figure show by the employer in Form No. 26AS. In any event, the Assessing Officer should have enquired with the employer about this variation as both Form No. 16 and Form No. 26AS, have been issue by the employer.
