Situation: SFT (003) Cash deposited in AIS shows Rs. 0, but actual cash deposited was Rs. 5,80,000. SFE (003) Cash withdrawal shows Rs. 11,00,000, but actual withdrawal was Rs. 11,94,000. Your feedback on AIS was rejected by the source (Bank) due to this mismatch. How to respond to the department: Step 1: Verify Bank Data Accuracy Check bank statements/passbook for FY 2022-23 to confirm exact cash deposit and withdrawal amounts. Ensure the amounts you reported match bank records exactly. Step 2: Reconcile Differences If your records differ from AIS data, it may be due to data entry issues by the bank or reporting errors. Contact the bank branch or nodal officer to clarify the discrepancy and request correction of data reported to the Income Tax Department. Step 3: Submit Corrected Feedback on AIS Portal Once bank data is confirmed and corrected (if needed), upload correct feedback on the AIS portal. Attach supporting documents such as bank statement or certificate from the bank confirming the correct figures. Step 4: If Bank Data is Correct, Explain to IT Department Prepare a written explanation highlighting: Actual figures from bank statement Reasons for discrepancy (if any) Request for correction of AIS data Submit this explanation via the AIS portal or through your Income Tax Officer. Additional Tips: Maintain proper documentation (bank statements, letters from bank). Keep track of all communications with the bank and Income Tax Department. Follow up regularly until data is corrected and feedback is accepted. Sample response points you can include: “We have verified the bank statements for FY 2022-23 and found the actual cash deposit as Rs. 5,80,000 and cash withdrawal as Rs. 11,94,000. The discrepancy in AIS data appears to be due to data reporting error by the bank. We have requested the bank to rectify the data with the Income Tax Department. We request your kind consideration to accept the corrected data after reconciliation.”
