Do update it with Axis, might help avoiding certain account freeze scenarios like some NeoBanks are into these days. Banks are supposed to file suspicious activity reports with FIU and since its the AI that flags accounts/transactions, good chances annual income is one of factors considered in doing so

FIU - Financial Intelligence Unit

No, this is basic info. Savings account don't need ITR but when we try credit score checks with banking apps, the report gets shared with them too. So, if not accurately they get some idea about your annual income, other wise they can only guess based on banking transactions (In & Out). Sometime back when Niyo/Equitas froze bank accounts, they started asking questions like "Source of funds" & "Occupation" (Ref)

Every bank should set key indicators for such accounts, taking note of the background of the customer, such as the country of origin, sources of funds, the type of transactions involved and other risk factors. High risk associated with accounts of bullion dealers (including sub-dealers) & jewelers should be taken into account by banks to identify suspicious transactions for filing Suspicious Transaction Reports (STRs) to Financial Intelligence Unit- India (FIU-IND)
