Recently, the Income Tax Department has rolled out the new Annual Information Statement (AIS) along with Taxpayer Information Summary (TIS) on the compliance portal. It is important to note here that Form 26AS on the TRACES portal will simultaneously be made available till the time the new AIS is validated and gets completely operational.
In the present article, we will look at the source of information and processing under AIS with regard to rent on plant and machinery.
