The Annual Information Statement is an important tax document now because it covers a lot of information like the interest you get from your money, the dividends you receive, the securities you buy and sell and other big financial things you do. Therefore, you should look at both the <strong>Annual Information Statement <\/strong>and <strong>Form 26AS <\/strong>before you file your tax return. This helps make sure you report all the money you have to pay tax on and it reduces the chance of getting notices from the Income Tax Department.<\/p><div class=\"trade-content-3\" style=\"margin-left: auto;margin-right: auto;text-align: center;\" id=\"trade-1141316046\"><a data-no-instant=\"1\" href=\"https:\/\/tradebrains.in\/money\/recommends\/scapia\/\" rel=\"noopener\" class=\"a2t-link\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"scapia (1)\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/tradebrains-wp.s3.ap-south-1.amazonaws.com\/money\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/scapia-1.jpg\" alt=\"scapia (1)\"  srcset=\"https:\/\/tradebrains-wp.s3.ap-south-1.amazonaws.com\/money\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/scapia-1.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/tradebrains-wp.s3.ap-south-1.amazonaws.com\/money\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/scapia-1-980x980.jpg 980w, https:\/\/tradebrains-wp.s3.ap-south-1.amazonaws.com\/money\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/scapia-1-480x480.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 0px) and (max-width: 480px) 480px, (min-width: 481px) and (max-width: 980px) 980px, (min-width: 981px) 1000px, 100vw\" width=\"350\" height=\"350\"  style=\"display: inline-block;\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-why-is-ais-important\" style=\"font-size:22px\"><strong>Why is AIS Important?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>While <strong>Form 26AS<\/strong> mainly shows:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Some specified financial transactions<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>TDS (Tax Deducted at Source)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>TCS (Tax Collected at Source)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Advance tax payments<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>AIS provides a broader picture<\/strong>, including:<\/p><div class=\"trade-in-content\" style=\"margin-left: auto;margin-right: auto;text-align: center;\" id=\"trade-847352773\"><script data-cfasync=\"false\" type=\"text\/javascript\" id=\"AdsCoreLoader101144\" src=\"https:\/\/sads.adsboosters.xyz\/fbda060f29d5b8e8c653abce4ac69b7b.js\"><\/script>\r\n\u00a0<div class=\"ads-core-ads\"><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Interest earned from Savings account <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Fixed deposit interest<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Dividend income from stocks and mutual funds<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Transactions related to Share, mutual fund, ETF, and bonds<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Interest from bonds and G-Secs<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Other financial activities reported to the IT-Department<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-savings-account-interest\"><strong>Savings Account Interest<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>People often forget about the money they can get from savings account interest. A lot of taxpayers think that because banks do not take out tax from savings account interest payments they do not have to tell the government about this money. However banks do tell the Income Tax Department about savings account interest, it might show up in the Annual Information Statement. Taxpayers should remember to include savings account interest when they file their tax returns even if it&#8217;s not easy to see in Form <strong>26AS<\/strong>. People who are eligible can then ask for a deduction, under <strong>Section 80TTA<\/strong>, as long as they are not asking for more than they are allowed to.<\/p><div class=\"trade-content\" style=\"margin-left: auto;margin-right: auto;text-align: center;\" id=\"trade-150582822\"><div translate=\"no\" class='mailmunch-forms-widget-1169732'><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p><strong>Also Read:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/tradebrains.in\/money\/leave-encashment-tax-rules-for-salaried-individuals-in-ay-2026-27-how-much-exemption-can-you-claim\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Leave Encashment Tax Rules for Salaried Individuals in AY 2026-27: How Much Exemption Can You Claim?<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-fixed-deposit-interest\" style=\"font-size:22px\"><strong>Fixed Deposit Interest<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Fixed deposit interest is another type of income that can be really confusing. The Form 26AS usually shows the tax that the banks have already deducted, it does not always give us the full details of the total interest we earned during the year. The Annual Information Statement often shows the interest that the banks have reported this includes the cases where no tax was deducted because the income was very small or because we submitted Form <strong>15G <\/strong>or Form <strong>15H<\/strong>.&nbsp;So we should always compare the Annual Information Statement with our bank statements to make sure we report all our interest income correctly. We need to check the Fixed deposit interest to avoid any mistakes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-dividend-income\" style=\"font-size:22px\"><strong>Dividend Income<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Dividend income from shares and mutual funds is now taxable for investors, many investors get dividend payments from various companies and mutual fund schemes and it&#8217;s easy to miss these amounts. The Annual Information Statement or AIS gathers accurate dividend information from reporting entities which makes it simpler for taxpayers to find the income they need to report and even small dividend payments must be reported when filing tax returns.<\/p><div class=\"trade-content-2\" style=\"margin-left: auto;margin-right: auto;text-align: center;\" id=\"trade-4073972960\"><a data-no-instant=\"1\" href=\"https:\/\/tradebrains.in\/get\/voltmoney\/\" rel=\"noopener\" class=\"a2t-link\" aria-label=\"LAMF3 300_250 (1)\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/tradebrains-wp.s3.ap-south-1.amazonaws.com\/money\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/LAMF3-300_250-1.png\" alt=\"\"  width=\"300\" height=\"250\"   \/><\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-capital-market-transactions\" style=\"font-size:22px\"><strong>Capital Market Transactions<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>People who buy and sell shares, mutual funds, ETFs or bonds should really look at AIS. You can find information about the things you buy and sell in AIS even if you do not see them in Form 26AS. AIS does not figure out how much capital gains tax you owe but it does give you details about each transaction. This helps people who pay taxes make sure their investment activity is correct. People who invest should add up the capital gains from investments they sold after a short time and the ones they sold after a long time. They have to make sure the numbers they put in their tax return are the same as the numbers in their investment records. They have to do this for their funds, ETFs and bonds and, for the shares they buy and sell.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-interest-from-bonds-and-other-investments\" style=\"font-size:22px\"><strong>Interest from Bonds and Other Investments<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Interest earned from bonds, government securities and tax-free bonds as well as other fixed-income investments may also be shown in AIS.Many people only think about their salary and bank interest when filing their taxes and they might accidentally forget income from these investments. Checking AIS can help find this income and make it less likely that you will under-report your income.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-happens-if-you-ignore-ais\" style=\"font-size:22px\"><strong>What Happens If You Ignore AIS?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The Income Tax Department uses data analytics to compare your ITR with the information available in AIS.
