CBDT launches new functionality in AIS to make tax filing system more transparent

15 May 2024 Evaluate

In a move towards making the tax filing system more transparent, the Central Board of Direct Taxes (CBDT) has rolled out a new functionality in the Annual Information Statement (AIS) to display the status of information confirmation process. This will display, whether the feedback  of the taxpayer has been acted upon by the Source, by either, partially or fully accepting or rejecting the same. In case of partial or full acceptance, the information is required to be corrected by filing a correction statement by the Source. The following attributes shall be visible to the taxpayer for status of Feedback confirmation from Source.

This will let the taxpayer know if the feedback has been shared with the Reporting Source for confirmation or not and will let the taxpayer know the date on which the feedback has been shared with the Reporting Source for confirmation. Besides, this will let the taxpayer know the date on which the Reporting Source has responded on the feedback shared with it for confirmation and will let the taxpayer know the response provided by the Source on the taxpayer's feedback (if any correction is required or not).

This new functionality is expected to increase transparency by displaying such information in AIS to the taxpayer. This is another initiative of the Income Tax Department towards ease of compliance and enhanced taxpayer services. In AIS, taxpayer has been provided with a functionality to furnish feedback on every transaction displayed therein. This feedback helps the taxpayer to comment on the accuracy of the information provided by the Source of such information. In case of wrong reporting, the same is taken up with the Source for their confirmation, in an automated manner. It may be noted that, information confirmation is currently made functional with regard to information furnished by Tax Deductors/Collectors and Reporting Entities.
