   Facts

   AIS (Annual Information Statement) is what the government already knows about your income. Any mismatch between AIS and your ITR triggers a Sec 270(1), Income-tax Act 2025 (old Sec 143(1)) notice automatically.

2. P

   Provisions and law

   • Sec 510 (old 285BB)
   • Rule 114-I
   • Sec 270(1) (old 143(1))
   • Sec 439 (old 270A)

   Analysis

   What AIS shows (50+ types): Salary TDS (employer reported), FD/savings interest (bank reported), MF redemptions (CAMS/registrar reported), property transactions (registrar reported), dividend income (company reported), share transactions (SEBI/exchanges reported), foreign remittances (bank reported). How to access AIS: incometax.gov.in → Services → Annual Information Statement (AIS) → Download AIS. Also available as PDF and JSON. Two views: Taxpayer Information Summary (TIS), consolidated; AIS, detailed per transaction. AIS feedback mechanism: If a transaction in AIS is incorrect (e.g. bank reported wrong amount, MF company reported your brother's transaction), submit feedback: "Incorrect information" or "Income not pertaining to me". Feedback reduces AIS figure for that item. TIS vs AIS: TIS shows consolidated income by category (salary, interest, dividends). Use TIS to fill ITR.
