AIS Error in ITR 2026? Fix It Before You File
Your Annual Information Statement (AIS) shows all your income, TDS, and transactions. If it has errors before you file your ITR for FY2025-26, you could pay more tax than needed or get an IT notice later.
One wrong entry in AIS can cost more than 3 months of your chai-and-snacks budget — silently.
An AIS error can wipe out your refund or trigger a tax notice
Key Takeaways
Log in to incometax.gov.in, go to 'AIS' under the Services tab, and download your full AIS PDF — review every entry against your Form 26AS and actual bank statements.
If you spot an error, click 'Feedback' next to the wrong entry in AIS, select the reason (e.g. 'Information is incorrect'), and submit — the department will review and update it.
Track your AIS correction status before filing your ITR — only file once the disputed entry is resolved or marked as 'under review', so your return matches official records.

Here's what happened: AIS is a tax document issued by the Income Tax Department that records all your financial transactions — salary, interest, dividends, and more — reported by banks and employers.. Errors in AIS are common: banks sometimes report wrong interest amounts, duplicate entries appear, or transactions from a closed account show up under your PAN.. If you file your ITR without correcting AIS errors, the IT Department may raise a mismatch notice, delay your refund, or ask you to pay extra tax with interest..
What you should do: Log in to incometax.gov.in, go to 'AIS' under the Services tab, and download your full AIS PDF — review every entry against your Form 26AS and actual bank statements.. If you spot an error, click 'Feedback' next to the wrong entry in AIS, select the reason (e.g. 'Information is incorrect'), and submit — the department will review and update it.. Track your AIS correction status before filing your ITR — only file once the disputed entry is resolved or marked as 'under review', so your return matches official records..
Pro tip: Cross-check your AIS against Form 26AS AND your bank's annual interest certificate — AIS has more data, but 26AS is still legally binding for TDS claims.
