Tenant rent reflecting wrongly in AIS

What You Did Right: Initial Feedback as “Information Denied”: This is appropriate when the entire entry is incorrect. Updated Feedback as

“Information is Partially Correct”: Smart move. Since the tenant paid rent for only two months, acknowledging partial correctness is more accurate and credible. Explanation in Feedback: Including a note that the tenant vacated early and suggesting they update the new landlord’s details shows transparency and diligence. 🛠️

 What You Can Still Do: Maintain Documentation: Keep a copy of the rent receipts, bank statements showing rent received, and any communication with the tenant about vacating. These will be useful if the tax department seeks clarification. Respond Promptly to Notices: If you receive a notice under e-verification or scrutiny, respond with the documents mentioned above. Track AIS Activity: You can monitor the status of your feedback and any updates through the AIS portal under “Activity History”. Consider Filing a Grievance:

 If the incorrect information persists and causes issues, you can raise a grievance through the Income Tax e-filing portal. You’ve taken the right steps to protect yourself. The key now is to stay alert and keep your records handy. If anything escalates, you’ll be well-prepared to respond.
