Dear Mr Ramamurthy
House wife saving is a pin money savings out of money given by her husband for household expenses. It is not black money if the money given by her husband out of tax paid income. Suppose it is out of her income and if the same is less than taxable limit of each year, then not black money. All old currency deposited in not black money.
Old couple case-Income tax return do not ask for personal assets and liabilities. So not mentioning the cash balance in ITR is not offence. As long as it is out of tax paid income/exempted income, it is not black money even when deposited more than 2.50 lakh. Always seek the advise of CA
1.A house wife has accumulated over the years a sum of 1 lakh in terms of old 1000 or 500 notes and now deposits in her account.
2. A old couple keep some money at home always, some 60,000 for any emergencies.
Though both are filing ITRs,( having incomes around 2 lakh -3 lakh per annum) none of these amounts are ever mentioned in tax returns.
Will these news laws in any way be applicable in the above cases. Many people of middle class are having this doubt. kindly clarify.
