Part C does more of the math for you — here's how to use it, and what to double-check before you submit.

Under Form 16, you (or your CA) reconstructed your salary-to-taxable-income workings largely by hand while filing. Form 130's Part C — Annexure I — now carries that computation on the certificate itself: gross salary, exemptions, deductions, and taxable income, laid out in sequence.
Quarterly TDS figures should reconcile exactly. A mismatch here is the single most common cause of a notice later.
80C, 80D, HRA — confirm the figures match what you actually declared and can substantiate with proof.
If you switched jobs mid-year, each employer's Form 130 covers only their period — you need all of them for a complete return.
Form 130 covers salary/pension only — capital gains, rental income, or freelance income still need their own reporting.
Don't file with figures you know are wrong just to make the deadline. Flag the discrepancy to your employer's payroll team so they can correct it and regenerate the certificate through TRACES — filing on an uncorrected certificate tends to cost far more time later than waiting a few days for a fix.
