Income Tax Returns: The Annual Information Statement (AIS) in income tax filing is a detailed financial report issued by the Income Tax Department. It contains comprehensive information on a taxpayer's financial activities and the corresponding tax deductions made during the year. Recently, the I-T department introduced a new feature in AIS to indicate the status of information confirmation.

AIS enhances transparency and simplifies tax filing by providing taxpayers with a comprehensive overview of their income and transactions for cross-verification during income tax return (ITR) filing. The statement shows both reported value (value reported by the reporting entities) and modified value for each type of information, i.e. TDS, Statement of financial transaction (SFT) and various other information.

New feature in AIS 

Salaried individuals usually file tax returns based on the Form 16 received from employers. The form is issued in June after the May 31 TDS filing deadline. Taxpayers should verify the details and file their returns promptly to avoid interest charges by the July 31 deadline.

The Central Board of Direct Taxes (CBDT), in a press release dated 13th May 2024, rolled out a new functionality in AIS to display the status of the information confirmation process.

The new feature in AIS will display if the taxpayer's feedback has been addressed by the source, either partially or fully accepted or rejected. For partial or full acceptance, a correction statement must be filed by the source to rectify the information.

What taxpayers can check

Whether feedback is shared for confirmation: This will let the taxpayer know if the feedback has been shared with the Reporting Source for confirmation or not.

1) Feedback Shared On: This will let the taxpayer know the date on which the feedback has been shared with the Reporting Source for confirmation.

2) Source Responded On: This will let the taxpayer know the date on which the Reporting Source has responded on the feedback shared with it for confirmation.
