This is a thread to tell u what it is and how do u get the AIS

(1/n)

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

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

A brief analysis and comparison of the CSS for Twitter's PWA vs Twitter's legacy desktop website. The difference is dramatic and I'll touch on some reasons why.

PWA *incrementally generates* ~30 KB CSS that handles all themes and writing directions.

735 rules
740 selectors

The legacy site's CSS is what happens when hundreds of people directly write CSS over many years. Specificity wars, redundancy, a house of cards that can't be fixed. The result is extremely inefficient and error-prone styling that punishes users and developers.

The PWA's CSS is generated on-demand by a JS framework that manages styles and outputs "atomic CSS". The framework can enforce strict constraints and perform optimisations, which is why the CSS is so much smaller and safer. Style conflicts and unbounded CSS growth are avoided.
