    Hello
    I am an individual where I have 5accounts in a particular bank for many years, but the bank official says the person holding the account should be there while depositing or withdrawing the money, but it is not stated in any guideline that such measures are required.
    For instance we have joint family where one person is doing the bank transaction, why is it requires all people holding the account be physically in bank , as it is before opening the account all documents are submitted in bank.

    We run a Spiritual Trust having 80G.
    Disciples offer donation in Hundi. We continue to receive demonetised notes in hundi.
    1) Can we account the demonetised notes even after cancelation of their legal tender and deposit in bank?
    2) Is there any cut-off date?

    It has repeatedly been clarified by the Government that aggregate deposits upto 2.5 lakhs by individuals from 9th Nov to 30th December will not be reported to the Tax Authorities.Whereas Rule 114B conforms to that assurance Rule 114E is contrary to that assurance.The said rules requires reporting of Aggregate Depsoits of 2.5 lakhs and above.In otherwords Deposits of Rs 2.5lakhs are included in the transactions to be reported.I feel this error needs to be rectified by CBDT.After all to error is human
