- High-value transactions (like large cash deposits, property purchases, and investments) are automatically reported to the Income Tax Department through the Statement of Financial Transaction (SFT).
- Banks, financial institutions, and other entities must electronically report specified transactions exceeding set limits, making non-disclosure in tax returns ineffective.
- Examples of reportable transactions include large cash deposits/withdrawals, high-value credit card payments, significant investments, and property deals.
- Transactions across multiple or joint accounts are aggregated and reported for all holders.
- Taxpayers may receive notices if reported transactions do not match declared income, so transparency and consistency in financial reporting are crucial.
