Tax liability

Tax queries 720 views 6 replies

HI All,

  I am a tax payer working for a company in India getting salary each month into salaried account. 

  I am also working for a US company as part time and getting cheque from US every month based on the hours worked.  I am depositing the cheque in my personal account which is not salary account and amount gets deposited after conversion from USD to INR.

 Please advice if I need to pay tax for the amount that I recieve via cheque from US.

Any guidance is greatly appreciated.

Thanks for the reply.

  I am aware that transactions are recorded via PAN Card, but do we have any chance of tax exemption.  

 I have been advised by other ppl that as the check is deposited in personal account, they may not track it. 

Sorry that I have asked about tax exemption.

 

 

 

All the tax deductions/exemptions options to any resident of India are available to you. It is true that while filing ITR you can show some other bank account, and you use another bank account for US cheques. But there is always some risk involved since cases of money laundering is growing rapidly. There could be ways to hide this transaction completely but I am not aware of it yet.  

Can you pls guide me on the risks involved in it. Also the consequences if they were able find transactions done on my savings account

Dear Santhosh,

This is to inform you that RBI has all records of foreign currency transaction.

Income Tax - A.O. can easily trace the same. Then, A.O. may issue penalty for concealment of income i.e. 300% of concealed income and some other penalty according to case.

You may have some obligation under FEMA.
