3 Overview

3.1 About Project Insight

Income Tax Department initiated Project Insight to focus on three goals namely (i) to promote voluntary compliance and deter noncompliance; (ii) to impart confidence that all eligible persons pay appropriate tax; and (iii) to promote fair and judicious tax administration. Under this project, an integrated data warehousing and analytical platform has been rolled out. The project also operationalizes two centres namely Income Tax Transaction Analysis Centre (INTRAC) and Compliance Management Centralized Processing Centre (CMCPC).

3.2 About AIS

Annual Information Statement (AIS) is comprehensive view of information for a taxpayer displayed in Form 26AS. Taxpayer can provide feedback on information displayed in AIS. AIS shows both reported value and modified value (i.e. value after considering taxpayer feedback) under each section (i.e. TDS, SFT, Other information).

The objectives of AIS are:

• Display complete information to the taxpayer with a facility to capture online feedback
• Promote voluntary compliance and enable seamless prefilling of return
• Deter non-compliance

Salient Features of AIS are:

• Inclusion of new information (interest, dividend, securities transactions, mutual fund transactions, foreign remittance information etc.)
• Use of Data Analytics to populate PAN in non-PAN data for inclusion in AIS.
• Deduplication of information and generation of a simplified Taxpayer Information Summary (TIS) for ease of filing return (pre-filling will be enabled in a phased manner).
• Taxpayer will be able to submit online feedback on the information displayed in AIS and also download information in PDF, JSON, CSV file formats.
• AIS Utility will enable taxpayer to view AIS and upload feedback in offline manner.
• AIS Mobile Application will enable taxpayer to view AIS and upload feedback on mobile.

AIS feedback file will be rejected and will not be taken up for next stage of processing (i.e. feedback level processing) if any file level validation error is identified.

b) Feedback level validation– System will validate the specific feedback(s) relating to the AIS information. Multiple validation rules shall be applied at this stage to confirm the correctness of the feedback provided in offline mode through utility (i.e. System will check for invalid PAN or if feedback is provided on any information which is now inactive).

Refer Annexure B: Validations for processing the AIS Feedback File for more details on file level and feedback level validations.

Once the file is processed, acknowledgement receipt will be generated and shared with taxpayer through e-mail/ SMS Notifications, and the same will also be available on Activity History tab.

The acknowledgement receipt will provide status of the feedback(s) i.e. whether the feedback provided by the taxpayer in the file is accepted by system or rejected.

If the feedbacks are rejected, the reason for rejection will also be provided in the acknowledgement receipt.

Note: Following statuses of uploaded AIS feedback file will be maintained by the system: Submitted – If the file is uploaded/ submitted successfully but not processed yet. Accepted – If all feedback(s) uploaded through AIS Feedback file is accepted by the system. Partially Accepted – If one or more feedback uploaded through AIS Feedback file is having feedback level error and is not accepted. Rejected – If either the whole file is rejected because of file level error, or all feedback(s) uploaded through AIS Feedback file are rejected because of feedback level error.

4.9 Updating/Correcting Feedbacks rejected by the system

The user can correct the rejected feedbacks and resubmit them using the AIS Utility (after downloading the latest AIS JSON and providing feedbacks using Utility) or submit feedback on that information through the Compliance Portal (AIS Homepage)/ AIS Mobile App.
