Taxpayers Urged to Verify Annual Information Statement Before Filing Income Tax Returns
Taxpayers are advised to carefully review their Annual Information Statement (AIS) before filing Income Tax Returns (ITR) to avoid mismatches that may cause delayed refunds, tax notices, or penalties. The AIS includes details like salary, interest income, dividends, capital market transactions, property income, foreign remittances, and tax deductions. Errors can arise from incorrect reporting by employers or financial institutions. Taxpayers can submit corrections through the income tax e-filing portal's AIS feedback option.
