Where it is downloaded

Log in to the portal, open Services, then AIS. Download both the AIS and the Taxpayer Information Summary, as a PDF or JSON. The Taxpayer Information Summary is downloaded with the AIS. This page does not state what the TIS rows contain.

The Annual Information Statement can list salary, interest, dividends, securities, and other information reported against the PAN. That statement is on the AIS page. An AIS row is information to check, not an automatic addition. A figure that disagrees with Form 16 stays on the mismatch page.

What it is not

Form 26AS shows tax credits such as TDS and TCS. The credit in a return should follow 26AS. That statement is downloaded via the TRACES portal link, on the Form 26AS page. The Taxpayer Information Summary is not Form 26AS. Form 16 is the salary certificate, on the Form 16 page.

The TIS is not a return. Downloading it does not file the return. A percentage is not copied here.

Before the return is filed

1. Download the AIS and the Taxpayer Information Summary from Services, then AIS.
2. The desk checks the AIS rows against the papers. The credit stays with Form 26AS.
3. You approve the draft. The return is filed after that approval.
4. You complete e-verification yourself.

The return that uses these downloads is quoted before it is filed. The first discussion is free. The length depends on the file.
