Who files Form 26AS
Every PAN holder. You download it yourself from the e-filing portal; nobody sends it to you.
When
Available all year and updated as deductors file their returns, so it typically keeps changing during the filing season. Download it again just before you file rather than relying on a copy you took earlier.
The thing people get wrong
The whole point is reconciliation: what you claim as TDS must match what appears here. If a deductor filed late or used the wrong PAN, the credit is missing and the return will be short. Chase the deductor — you cannot fix it from your side.
Where to get the current Form 26AS
From the income tax e-filing portal. Income Tax Department (CBDT). We deliberately do not host a copy of any government form. They are revised without notice, and a stale file served from here would be worse than none — you would file it and find out months later.
The tools people need around Form 26AS
Form 26AS is filed with the authority, not with us. What we do is the document work around it — the part where a payroll portal caps uploads at a few megabytes, or two certificates have to become one file, or a statement has to become rows you can total.

Can DiemDesk file Form 26AS for me?
No, and nothing here does. We are document tools, not a filing service. What we help with is the paperwork around the filing — combining certificates, compressing a scan under a portal's upload limit, turning a statement into a spreadsheet, or redacting an account number before you forward something. All of it runs in your browser.
Are my documents uploaded?
No. The in-browser tools open and rebuild the file on your own device, so a Form 16 or a bank statement never leaves it. Open your browser's Network tab and you will see no request carrying the file.
