What is AIS?

The Annual Information Statement consolidates all financial transactions reported against your PAN — TDS, TCS, salary, interest, dividends, securities, mutual funds, foreign remittances and more — for a financial year.

What is TIS?

The Taxpayer Information Summary is a category-wise aggregate of the AIS that pre-fills values in your ITR. Always reconcile TIS with your Form 26AS and Form 16 before filing.

Common mistakes

PAN must be in lowercase — uppercase will be rejected.
Date of Birth uses DDMMYYYY with no slashes or hyphens.
For companies / firms, use Date of Incorporation instead of DOB.
No spaces between PAN and DOB.

FAQs

What is the password to open AIS PDF?

Your PAN in lowercase followed by Date of Birth in DDMMYYYY format. Example: abcde1234f15081990.

Is the TIS password the same as AIS?

Yes — TIS uses the same PAN + DOB format as AIS.

AIS password not working — what now?

Double-check the PAN is in lowercase and DOB is DDMMYYYY with no separators. If it still fails, re-download the PDF from the Compliance Portal — older files can get corrupted.
