Right from return filings to assessments and appeals in income tax law in India, digital means are being adopted. Income tax department is also providing an online facility of pre-filled return from details available with it from various sources so that more transparent and accurate filings are done and undisclosed income can be reduced.
Form 26AS, statement of financial transactions (Form 61A), withholding tax returns by deductors (Form 24Q, 26Q, 27EQ), details of foreign remittances (Form 15A/15B), etc. are the various means by which the department collects financial information.
Recently, the Government has rolled out a new annual information statement expanding the scope of current Form 26-AS with the inclusion of various information categories like interest, mutual fund transactions, insurance, dividends, etc.
Now, with PAN, financial data of a user is collected from various sources and monitored by the income tax department through new AIS with the use of AI technology. So, it is highly recommended to plan your financial activities along with the impact of taxes on them.
This article will guide you about new AIS, status of current Form 26-AS, accessibility of new AIS, information categories, etc.
Annual Information Statement (AIS) is a comprehensive view of financial information for a taxpayer displayed in Form 26AS issued by the Income Tax Department under section 285BB of the Income Tax Act, 1961. It contains details about tax collected, deducted, transactions reported in statements of financial transactions, etc. The new AIS will provide additional categories like dividends, securities transactions, foreign remittances, mutual fund transactions, etc.
The new AIS will also carry a simplified Taxpayer Information Summary (TIS) for each taxpayer showing aggregated value for various information for the taxpayer for ease of filing return. The information in TIS will be used for pre-filing of income tax return.
It is important to note that the present AIS on the compliance portal is showing details starting from the financial year 2020-21 in order to enable taxpayers to file their return for the assessment year 2021-22.
Current Form 26AS will continue till the new AIS gets fully operational. The display of Form 26AS on TRACES portal will also continue in parallel till that time.
A question may arise that what will happen if there is a variation between the TDS/TCS information or the details of tax paid or any other information as displayed in Form 26AS on TRACES and the same information being displayed in AIS on compliance Portal, then, in such case, the taxpayer may rely on the information displayed on TRACES for the purpose of filing of ITR and for other tax compliance purposes.
