Wondering how to fix AIS mismatch before filing Income Tax Return (ITR) for AY 2025-26? You are not alone.
A large number of taxpayers are facing issues with their Annual Information Statement (AIS). The Income Tax Department has suggested what the taxpayers can do to fix the mismatch.
According to the tax department, if there is a mismatch in your AIS, then you should submit feedback on each transaction that you think is not mentioned correctly.
What can you do?
For correcting an entry in AIS, you should locate the item, then click the “Optional” or “Add Feedback” option as required.
The income tax department will verify the feedback, and if found correct, it will update your annual statement. However, you should track the status of whether your feedback was accepted or rejected in the AIS.
In a post on X, the tax department shared the following on July 16, 2025:
- Taxpayers can provide feedback on every transaction in the AIS
- Feedback (wherever the taxpayer disagrees) is taken up with the source for confirmation
- Status of feedback confirmation from the source is displayed in AIS (Accepted/Rejected)
- This initiative aims to improve compliance and taxpayer services.
The AIS records all your tax-related financial information, which you can view or download on the e-filing portal of the Income Tax Department.
The details in the AIS include bank interest, dividends from companies and mutual funds, foreign dividend income, purchase or sale of stocks, mutual funds, ETFs, real estate, etc.
Why should you correct details in AIS?
In case of any mismatch in income, taxpayers can end up getting notices from the department.
AIS enables you to proactively avoid mismatches that may trigger income tax notices in the future.
Therefore, it is important to have all details correct in the AIS. Not only this, you should also thoroughly review the AIS to ensure correctness before filing ITR.
Further, you should ensure that all income reflected in the AIS is either correctly included in your ITR or you have responded through the AIS feedback mechanism.
