AIS is the government's mirror of your financial life. Every bank, mutual fund, registrar, stock exchange, and institution reports transactions to the IT department. This is what triggers automatic Sec 270(1), Income-tax Act 2025 (old Sec 143(1)) demands. Understanding AIS is the single most important step before filing ITR.
