Banks are required to furnish return referred u/s 285BA read with rule 114E only in cases where Cash deposits aggregating to ten lakh rupees or more in a year in any savings account of a person maintained in that bank and
Payments made by any person against bills raised in respect of a credit card issued to that person, aggregating to two lakh rupees or more in the year.
No such requirement is there is respect of current account transactions.
