Income Tax Rules on Large Cash Deposits, UPI Transfers, and Gift Tax Explained
The Income Tax Department scrutinizes large cash deposits and unexplained bank credits, but digital transactions like UPI transfers do not automatically trigger notices. Deposits of 10 lakh or more in savings accounts and transfers of 50 lakh or more to family members are reportable but not necessarily taxable. Taxpayers must explain the source of funds to avoid penalties, especially for cash receipts exceeding 2 lakh in a single transaction. Reporting thresholds differ by account type and transaction nature.
