Attention! New Regulations for Large Cash Deposits in Savings Accounts Important information for Indian residents

 In a recent development, depositing more than ₹10 lakh in cash into a savings account now requires PAN card details and proof of income sources. This regulation aims to combat money laundering and tax evasion.

What do you need to know?

  • If you are depositing more than ₹10 lakh in cash into your savings account, you will be required to provide your PAN card details and proof of income sources to the bank.
  • Proof of income sources can include documents such as salary slips, investment statements, or property papers.
  • Failure to provide this information may result in a 60% tax deduction on the deposited amount.

Why are these regulations being implemented?

The Indian government is taking steps to curb money laundering and tax evasion. Large cash transactions can be used to launder illegal money or to avoid paying taxes. By requiring PAN card details and proof of income sources for large cash deposits, the government aims to make it more difficult for people to engage in these activities.

What should you do?

  • If you plan to deposit more than ₹10 lakh in cash into your savings account, ensure you have your PAN card details and proof of income sources readily available.
  • If you are unsure about what documents constitute valid proof of income, consult with your bank or a financial advisor.
  • It is advisable to maintain a record of your transactions, including receipts and deposit slips, for future reference.

Additional tips

  • Be aware of the limits on cash transactions in India. The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has set limits on cash transactions that can be done without reporting them to the authorities.
  • If you are unsure about the regulations or have any questions, consult with your bank or a financial advisor.

By following these guidelines, you can ensure that your cash deposits comply with the new regulations and avoid any unnecessary tax deductions.
