Hello All

This query is regarding AIR which needs to be filed for high value financial transactions under section 285BA of the Income-tax Act by individuals and certain specified financial institutions.

As per one of the rules a bank has to file AIR for  cash deposits aggregating to ten lakh rupees or more in a year in any savings account of a person maintained in that bank.

My query is

What type of transactions are treated as cash transactions apart from pure cash deposits:

1- Electrnic transaction like NEFT, RTGS, ECS also treated as cash transactions.

2- Deposits through cheques also come in this rule

Suppose I had a deposit of total of Rs 15 lakhs ina  year in my account - which included cash deposits of 2 lakhs

and rest payments mode like cheque, NEFT etc. Do i need to file this in AIR section of ITR?

 

Appreciate your response.

Regards

Ravi
