The income tax department has asked banks to report deposits in any account aggregating Rs 10 lakh in a year, as well as cash payments of Rs1 lakh or more on credit card bills.
In a 17 January notification, the Central Board of Direct Taxes (CBDT) listed cash transactions which need to be reported to tax authorities and set up an e-platform for doing so. It reiterated its November 2016 instruction asking banks to report all cash deposits of Rs2.5 lakh or more made in one or more accounts of a person during 9 November to 30 December 2016.
