CBDT: The Income Tax Department on Tuesday said it is sending notifications through SMS and e-mail to taxpayers and non-filers regarding differences found in Income Tax Returns (ITR) and Annual Information Statements (AIS).
These messages are being sent specifically in cases where there is a discrepancy in the transaction information recorded in the AIS and the income declared in the ITR for the financial years 2023-24 and 2021-22.
The Central Board of Direct Taxes (CBDT) said in its statement that it has launched a special campaign to resolve the difference between the income and transactions recorded in the AIS and the information given in the ITR. Through this campaign, those persons have also been identified whose taxable income or large value transactions are recorded in the AIS but they have not filed ITR for the relevant financial year.
Notification through e-mail and SMS
This initiative is being taken under the implementation of E-Verification Scheme, 2021. Under this campaign, informative SMS and e-mails are being sent to the taxpayers to help them overcome the difference between the information recorded in ITR and AIS. AIS presents a detailed statement of the taxpayer’s financial information, which the taxpayer can view on the Income Tax Department portal and respond as required.
As part of implementation of the e-Verification Scheme, 2021 , CBDT has launched an e-campaign to assist taxpayers in resolving mismatches between the income and transactions reported in the AIS and those disclosed in ITRs for the F.Y 2023-24 and 2021-22.

CBDT said that the objective of this campaign is to remind and guide those taxpayers who have not correctly disclosed their entire income in ITR. Under this, taxpayers can file revised ITR for the financial year 2023-24 till 31 December 2024.
At the same time, in cases related to the financial year 2021-22, taxpayers have the facility to file updated ITR till March 31, 2025. It is worth noting that last month also CBDT had launched a special campaign in which messages were sent to those taxpayers who had not made high-value disclosure of foreign income or assets in ITR for assessment year 2024-25.
