What is Non-Filing Monitoring System (NMS)?

The Non-Filing Monitoring System (NMS) is a system developed by the Income Tax Department to identify individuals who are required to file taxes but have not done so. Here’s how it works:

Identification of Non-filing

The NMS identifies people who are liable to file taxes—those with an annual income exceeding ₹2,50,000—but have not filed their tax returns. The system leverages several information sources to spot these non-compliant taxpayers:

  • AIR (Annual Information Return): Filed by financial institutions, providing details of high-value financial transactions.
  • CIB (Centralised Information Branch): Collects and processes data related to potential tax evaders.
  • TDS Statements: Details of tax deducted at source, which help in tracking the income of individuals.

Notification Process

Once potential non-filers are identified, the NMS automatically sends a non-compliance email to the taxpayer’s registered email address. The Income Tax Department also sends notifications via SMS and email every year to inform non-filers of their obligation to submit their returns.
