ITR Due July 31: Check Your AIS in 3 Steps
The Income Tax Return deadline is July 31. Before you file, check your Annual Information Statement (AIS) on the tax portal — it shows all income the government already knows about, so your return matches their records.
Your AIS knows every FD interest, rent, and stock sale — even ones you forgot about.
Miss this ITR deadline and you pay up to ₹5,000 in late fees
Key Takeaways
Log in to incometax.gov.in, go to 'Services' → 'Annual Information Statement (AIS)' and download your full AIS report before filing.
Cross-check every entry in AIS — salary, bank interest, mutual fund redemptions, property transactions — against your own records and Form 26AS.
If you spot an error in AIS, raise a feedback/correction request directly on the portal before submitting your ITR to avoid a mismatch notice.
