Income Tax Department: Roll out of ‘AIS for Taxpayer’ Mobile App

The Income Tax Department has launched a Mobile app, namely, ‘AIS for Taxpayer’ to facilitate taxpayers to view their information as available in the Annual Information Statement (AIS) / Taxpayer Information Summary (TIS).

‘AIS for Taxpayer’ is a mobile application provided free of cost by the Income Tax Department, and is available on Google Play & App Store. The app is aimed to provide a comprehensive view of the AIS/TIS to the taxpayer which displays the information collected from various sources pertaining to the taxpayer.

Taxpayers can utilize the mobile app to access information such as TDS/TCS, interest, dividends, share transactions, tax payments, Income Tax refunds, and Other Information (GST Data, Foreign Remittances, and so on) that is available in AIS/TIS. The taxpayer is also given the choice and facility of providing comments on the information provided in the app.

To use this mobile app, the taxpayer must first register by entering their PAN number and then authenticate with the OTP issued to their registered mobile number and email address on the e-filing portal. Following authentication, the user can simply enter a 4-digit PIN to have access to the mobile app.

This is another initiative of the Income Tax Department in the area of providing enhanced taxpayer services facilitating ease of compliance.
