In a latest directive, CBDT has instructed all the banks to submit details of transactions of various nature in the bank accounts of their customers. The CBDT has asked for the details with various transaction limits. Here are the details of more restrictions:
1) Cash deposits in accounts of a person aggregating to Rs 10 lakh in a financial year have to be submitted to CBDT.
2) Credit card payments worth more than 1 lakh in cast and Rs 10 lakh in a financial year should be reported.
3) Cash deposits during April 1, 2016 – November 9, 2016 should also be intimated to the tax authorities by January 31, 2017, as per the notification of CBDT.
