AIS not able to access

Thanks Chandrakant 

Would be helpful to many trying to get the AIS/TIS from outside India.

The AIS app you used is Android or iOS ?

Looks like TRACES [for 26AS download] firewall is removed.

Now possible to open TRACES site from outside India like it was possible earlier

But I am from Bangalore, India, Still cannot access the compliance portal to download AIS and TIS. Tied different browsers, different computers, cleared history etc etc, Still unable to access compliance portal of Income Tax. Any suggestions to work around this issue?

@ Radhakrishnan 

Income Tax Department seems to be switching off access to AIS/TIS server time to time (especially during weekends) without any announcement.

In such a case, on clicking the AIS menu button on the web page, it takes one to window saying "AIS unavailable now, try later". 

Are you getting this window "Try Later" ?

If yes, then you just need to leave it for a few hours and try again.

You may succeed in getting the AIS/TIS download page.

The error message is Access denied

Dear All,

.now even from outside India, we are able to access AIS and TIs.

I myself downloaded from outside India both AIS & TIS just 2 days back.

@ Sushant

Take a look at @ Radhakrishnan reply. Does it need OpenAI or something similar to decipher the meaning? 

@ Sushant

Got AIS/TIS access from outside India checked.

Yes, as you wrote, now it has BECOME accessible due to great wisdom of someone.

Thank God. 

@ Radhakrishnan

About your problem:-

Which Op System and Browser you are using ?

As per IT Portal, for MS Windows, minimum requirement is MS Windows 7.  Browser latest Mozilla Firefox , or MS Edge.

Try with IT Portal recommendation and see if you are successful.

I am able to download 26 AS through Traces . Even though while trying to reach it states NRI website but when I entered my pan and password, it worked. Also through income tax portal 26AS could be reached.

@ Rahul Krishna 

Thanks for your feedback.

Now try AIS/TIS download from Australia and report your findings.

@ Sushant reported & I have  re-confirmation that now it's possible to download from outside India.

Thanks a lot to all the members discussing the issue and sharing the knowledge. Today I tried again. And wow all AIS working absolutely fine. Downloaded all data. Now I will start checking and submit feedback. 

Thanks again

@ Rahul Krishna 

Congratulations on able to download the AIS/TIS from Australia.

But all is still not ok with AIS /TIS system because, even now, absolutely wrong , unrelated data getting added to AIS/TIS, as per feedback from many. And AIS/TIS has a column, which says data posted is ACCEPTED AS CORRECT by the user!! 

Hope all your data is correct.

I have to start checking now. So far, I have never faced any issues with wrong entries in my ITR. I file 4 Returns . Self, wife and my sr. Citizen relatives. But still AIS is very useful. For filling Capital Gains, we get ready to upload data in required format. Feedback has not been negated any time. 

It may take time for perfection but it will go a long way in generating fear amongst Tax thieves.and helping in correct tax filing. 

@ Rahul Krishna 

I fully agree with the usefulness of AIS, TIS and 26AS.

That's why, we all keep waiting to get these for filing return.
