Minimizing Tax Harassment post Demonetisation
We are pleased to share that today, the Income Tax department has come out and said no questions will be asked about deposits of up to Rs 2.5 lakh and only those accounts will be probed that do not match the tax returns.
If you have any additional inputs on how tax harassment can be minimized, please feel free to share.
Using Big Data analytics, the Income Tax Department has segregated different kinds of deposits and large ones like more than Rs 1 crore that do not match with income tax returns filed in previous years will be taken for "layer enforcement".
The CBDT has already sent SMS/emails to 18 lakh people who have made suspicious deposits over Rs 5 lakh during the 50 day demonetisation period. more
