Ever wished you could check all your tax-related info in one place, right from your phone? The Income Tax Department made this possible by launching the AIS for Taxpayers App — a simple, secure way to access your Annual Information Statement (AIS) and track your tax data on the go.
Whether you’re checking TDS details, tracking your tax refunds, or reviewing investment income, this app has it covered. Let’s break down how to register, log in, and use the AIS App like a pro
What is the AIS for Taxpayers App?
The Annual Information Statement (AIS) is a detailed record of your tax-related data such as:
-
TDS and TCS details
-
Tax payments
-
Income from interest, dividends, shares, and more
-
Refunds
-
Foreign remittances and GST data
Earlier, this information was partially available on Form 26AS, but from AY 2023-24 onwards, AIS takes over with even more details.
To make this information easily accessible, the government launched the AIS App on March 22, 2023. You can download it for free from the Google Play Store or Apple App Store
