Income Tax Department Adds Foreign Asset Details to AIS for Verification Purposes
The Annual Information Statement (AIS) now displays foreign financial assets and income for calendar years 2022 to 2024, sourced from over 100 countries. The Income Tax Department clarifies this is a taxpayer facilitation tool, not an investigation, allowing individuals to verify past disclosures and ensure accurate reporting for the current year. Taxpayers should not re-report previously disclosed assets but must declare any foreign assets held in 2025. The information is accessible securely via the e-Filing portal to aid compliance and reduce errors.
