Income Tax Update: Foreign Asset Information Now Available Through AIS

CBDT has enabled taxpayers to view certain foreign asset information through the Annual Information Statement on the Income Tax e-Filing portal.

The Income Tax Department has introduced an important taxpayer-service enhancement on the e-Filing portal.

CBDT announced in July 2026 that taxpayers can view Foreign Asset Information through the Annual Information Statement (AIS).

The information is connected with data received through applicable international information-sharing mechanisms, including CRS and FATCA.

Taxpayers with foreign financial assets should review the information available to them and ensure that their tax reporting obligations are properly understood.

AIS should be treated as an important source of information while preparing tax-related records, but taxpayers should also verify their own records and applicable reporting requirements.

Vartika India helps customers understand their tax documentation and filing requirements.

For official information, taxpayers should use the Income Tax Department's e-Filing portal.
