Does AIS Show Bank Interest and Dividend Income?
This page explains whether AIS can show bank interest and dividend income, how to reconcile it with bank and investment records, and what to do when amounts differ.
Quick Answer
AIS can contain reported bank interest and dividend information when the relevant reporting entity has furnished it. Taxpayers should compare those amounts with bank statements, interest certificates and dividend records before filing.
Can Bank Interest Appear in AIS?
Yes. AIS can contain information relating to interest where that information has been reported and is presently available with the Income Tax Department. Taxpayers should compare AIS with bank statements and interest certificates.
Can Dividend Income Appear in AIS?
Yes. AIS can contain reported information relating to dividends. Investors should compare the information with broker, company, mutual-fund or other relevant investment records.
Why Might AIS and My Bank Statement Differ?
Differences can arise from reporting timing, source records, processing, duplication or other differences between the Department's information and the taxpayer's records. The underlying documents should be reviewed before the ITR is filed.
Should I Report Interest or Dividend Missing From AIS?
The absence of an item from AIS does not by itself mean that it can be omitted from the ITR. Taxpayers are expected to report complete and accurate information using all relevant records.
What If AIS Shows the Wrong Interest or Dividend?
Compare the AIS entry with the bank, broker or investment records and identify the reporting source. Where feedback is available, submit appropriate AIS feedback and retain supporting evidence.
