What Is Transaction Status in AIS?
Transaction status in AIS provides information about the state or nature of a reported item within the AIS information shown to the taxpayer. Taxpayers should examine the transaction details and underlying records before deciding how it affects the ITR.
Quick Answer
Transaction status provides context about an item displayed in AIS. The status itself does not determine the final taxability of the transaction.
Why Does Transaction Status Matter?
The status and transaction details can help taxpayers understand how a reported item is represented in AIS. This is especially useful when reviewing multiple entries or investigating information that appears incorrect.
Review the Full Transaction Details
Do not rely only on the amount. Review the reporting source, transaction description, relevant dates, and other available details when reconciling an entry.
Status and Taxability Are Not the Same Thing
A reported transaction does not automatically determine the final taxable income. The applicable tax treatment may depend on the nature of the transaction and the taxpayer’s complete records.
When Should I Give Feedback?
If the displayed information does not correctly represent the transaction, review the feedback options available in AIS and use the appropriate option where applicable.
Frequently Asked Questions

Should I review status for every AIS entry?
For effective reconciliation, review material or relevant entries and investigate entries that do not match your records.
