The Annual Information Statement has been upgraded to include rent payments and foreign remittance data, improving pre-filled return accuracy.

The income tax department has added two new categories to AIS: rent received by individuals and foreign remittance information.

This means if you're a landlord or have sent/received money abroad, those transactions will now appear in your AIS, making it harder to omit such income.

Taxpayers should review their AIS thoroughly before filing ITR to avoid mismatches and subsequent notices.
