However, there are some cases where the AIS & TIS might be wrong as the authorities derives data from TDS (Tax deducted at source) TCS (Tax collected at source) & SFT (Significant Financial transactions) which can have chances of errors while reporting by respective assessee.
So, what to do in such scenarios lets decode it
AIS vs TIS: Know the Difference

| What it shows | Every individual transaction each FD, each MF redemption, each property deal | Category-wise totals after removing duplicates |
Purpose | Review & raise feedback on wrong entries | This number goes into your ITR pre-fill |
| Action point | Correct errors here first | Verify this matches your actual income |
Why Is My AIS Showing Wrong Figures?
So, generally there are rare cases where these reporting mistakes are happened & what can be the root causes or which one are common mistakes in reportings?
Sr. No | Root Cause | What You See in AIS | Common Example |

| 2 | Joint Account/Co-ownership | Full amount shown but your share is less | Wife’s AIS shows full ₹70L property sale actually 50:50 with husband |
3 | Wrong PAN by Deductor | Transaction you don’t recognise at all | A stranger’s cash deposit or property appearing in your AIS or any unknown income due to wrong PAN in reported TDS entries |
| 4 | Wrong Year | Old transaction reappearing | MF redemption from FY 2024-25 showing in FY 2025-26 AIS |

Information is duplicate | Same transaction appears twice | FD interest doubled via SFT + TDS both |
| Information relates to other PAN | Transaction is not yours at all | Someone else’s property appearing under your PAN |
Information relates to other year | Transaction belongs to a different FY | FY 2024-25 MF redemption in FY 2025-26 AIS |
