How to Download AIS (Annual Information Statement) for ITR Filing

Your AIS (Annual Information Statement) contains every financial transaction the IT department knows about — interest, dividends, capital gains, and TDS from all sources. Here's how to download it in 2 minutes.

Step 1: Login to the Income Tax Portal

Go to incometax.gov.in and login with your PAN and password.

Tip: If you haven't registered, you'll need your PAN, Aadhaar, and mobile number linked to Aadhaar for OTP verification.

Step 2: Navigate to AIS

After login, go to: Services → Annual Information Statement (AIS)

You'll be redirected to the AIS/TIS portal (compliance.insight.gov.in).

Step 3: Select Financial Year

Select FY 2025-26 (for AY 2026-27 filing).

Step 4: Download as JSON

Click the Download button.

Then select JSON format.

Important: Choose JSON, not PDF. Arth needs the JSON file to automatically extract your income data.

The file will be named something like AIS_2025-26_ABCDE1234F.json and will be encrypted.

Step 5: Upload to Arth

Go to the Tax Filing tab → Documents → AIS card. Upload the JSON file and enter your PAN and Date of Birth — Arth will decrypt and parse it automatically.
