ITR Filing 2025: Facing error in AIS while filing income tax return? Know how you can fix it using I-T department guidelines

When a taxpayer files their income tax return (ITR), they face different issues. One of the common issues is the Annual Information Statement (AIS). And this is not new; every year, taxpayers face some errors while filing their ITR. But, don’t worry, if you are getting an AIS error, the Income Tax (I-T) Department has issued guidelines on how you can correct this. But before that, you need to understand what AIS is and how important it is.

Meanwhile, 1.13 crore verified ITRs have been processed by the I-T department so far, according to the I-T Department website.

What is AIS?

The Annual Information Statement (AIS) is a comprehensive view of information for a taxpayer. 

The objectives of AIS are:

• Displays complete information to the taxpayer before filing the return of income with a facility to capture online feedback.
• Promotes voluntary compliance and enables seamless prefilling of the return.
• Deters non-compliance.

The information shown on AIS is divided into two parts:

Part A- General information
Part A displays general information about you, including PAN, masked Aadhar number, name of the taxpayer, date of birth/ incorporation/ formation, mobile number, e-mail address, and address of the taxpayer.

Part B- TDS/TCS Information
Information related to tax deducted/collected at source is displayed here. The information code of the TDS/TCS, information description, and information value are shown.

How to fix the AIS error?

As per the I-T department guidelines, here is a step-by-step guideline to fix the AIS error:
– Start by providing feedback for every transaction you believe to be incorrect.
– Next, find the transaction in AIS, select “Optional” or “Add Feedback,” and then reply.
– The feedback will then be checked by the department and verified by the source (e.g., a mutual fund company, bank, etc.).
– Depending on the verification’s outcome, the AIS will indicate whether the input was accepted or rejected.

If you don’t verify your AIS, then you may get a notice from I-T department.
