31 May 2016 Dear Sir,

I paid 2 lakh to my father one year before as there was some operation he had to undergo and he needed the money, so I transferred that to his account, After one year he returned that money to me. There was no interest that he paid me. I paid him 2 lakh and after one year he returned 2 lakh.

I did not show this amount in my ITR. my fathers passbook shows that the amount he received from me and my bank passbook shows that I received the same amount from him. So If my return is selected for scrutiny, will I have to pay any tax or penalty. This is not a income so I did not show it in ITR. was it wrong on my part not to show this in ITR?

Please advice. .
