The Central Board of Direct Taxes (CBDT) said the Income Tax Department used to receive higher value information like sale/purchase of immovable property, cash deposit/withdrawal from saving bank accounts, purchase of shares, buyback of shares, debentures, time deposits, foreign currency, credit card payments, purchase of mutual funds, cash payment for goods and services, etc.

The basic intention behind its introduction is to fetch information about the transactions of higher values. The Finance Minister had announced about the Form 26AS in the Budget 2020-21. Hence Form 26AS is a consolidated annual tax statement that includes information on tax collected/deducted at source, self-assessment, and advance tax. Earlier the tax authorities used to get this information from the financial institutions. This form will reflect details of all high-value transactions made by the taxpayers. You can find it from the website of the income tax department with the help of your PAN number.
