If you are a frequent user of Digi Yatra app but don't file income tax returns, don't be surprised if you get a notice from the tax department.

According to sources, the tax department has accessed the entire passenger data captured on the Digi Yatra app, and the same is being reconciled with tax filings to check for discrepancies in the declared income. The tax department would start issuing notices in 2025 based on the Digi Yatra data, said sources.

Digi Yatra app is a civil aviation ministry-led initiative to make air travellers' journey seamless and paperless. It uses facial recognition technology, and collects passengers' ID, biometrics, and details of air tickets to give easy access at airports. It is, however, not mandatory for fliers to download or use the app.
