New Delhi: The Income Tax Department has rolled out the new Annual Information Statement (AIS) that tells the taxpayers what the tax department knows about them. The AIS Portal provides a comprehensive view of information to a taxpayer with a facility to capture online feedback. The new Annual Information Statement (AIS) can be accessed by clicking on the link “Annual Information Statement (AIS)” under the “Services” tab on the new Income tax e-filing portal (https://www.incometax.gov.in)
The new AIS also includes additional information regarding the dividend, interest, mutual fund transactions, securities transactions, foreign remittance information and more. The registered information has been processed to remove the duplicate information. The taxpayers can now easily download the AIS information in PDF, JSON, CSV formats.
Here’s how you can download AIS:
Step 1: Go to the government’s e-filing portal at www.incometax.gov.in and login into your account
Step 2: Go to Services, Click on ‘Annual Information Statement (AIS)’, click proceed on the pop-up that appeared on the screen. You’ll be redirected to another website.
Step 3: On the new web page, Select AIS
Step 4: Now you will have two options to select from. Annual Information Statement (AIS) or Taxpayer Information Summary. Options will also show the financial year for which AIS is being downloaded, your PAN information, and your name.
Step 5: Press on the download Arrow on the AIS box, a pop-up will ask you to select the format for downloading AIS. Select your preferred choice of format.
The PDF format of the AIS is password protected. The password of the downloaded file is a combination of your PAN and date of birth. For example, If your PAN number is XYZXY000Z and your date of birth is November 1, 1990, then your password will be XYZXY000Z01111990.
If the taxpayer feels that the information is incorrect, relates to another person/year, duplicate etc., a facility has been provided to submit online feedback. Feedback can also be furnished by submitting multiple information in bulk. An AIS Utility has also been provided for taxpayers to view AIS and upload feedback in an offline manner. The reported value and value after feedback will be shown separately in the AIS. In case the information is modified/denied, the information source may be contacted for confirmation.
