FAQ :
The NMS is a data-driven system that analyses financial information from third-party sources to identify high-value transactions made by individuals or entities who have not filed income tax returns.
The goal is to encourage voluntary compliance and widen the tax base by identifying non-filers through data analytics, rather than immediate punitive action.
The department first alerts taxpayers via SMS, emails, and portal notifications, encouraging them to file belated returns, submit revised returns, or correct any income mismatches.
The AIS provides taxpayers with a consolidated view of their financial transactions reported by third parties, helping them review data, reconcile discrepancies, and file or revise returns if necessary.
The selection of cases for scrutiny is now fully automated through a rule-based system that analyses data from various sources to identify high-risk cases with minimal manual intervention.
Taxpayers should regularly check their AIS on the income tax portal, respond promptly to departmental alerts, and ensure accurate and timely filing of their income tax returns.
