Understand What is Taxpayer Information Summary (TIS), Know How to Access TIS Online

The Annual Information Statement (AIS) gives complete details about a taxpayer’s income and financial activities for a financial year. The Taxpayer Information Summary (TIS) is a simplified version of this data, organised by category.

The AIS-TIS includes details like income, financial transactions, tax payments, and any income tax proceedings. A taxpayer can view this information by logging into their income-tax e-filing account or using the “AIS for Taxpayer” mobile app. If any information in the AIS is wrong, repeated, or belongs to someone else, the taxpayer can send feedback to get it corrected.
