First of all,
What is AIS (Annual Information Statement)?
You know earlier Income Tax used to give statement 26AS
AIS is a much detailed one - with many more details included - like your Savings Interest, all Mutual Fund txns during the year etc
(2/n)
Will 26AS be stopped?
a) Now you can get both 26AS and also AIS
b) Both put together, Income Tax department knows all your financial txns
c) And it's good as now you will find it very easy to know and submit details for your Income Tax returns
