18 June 2010 All repayments where the loan or deposit along with interest is Rs. 20,000/- or more are to be reported under clause 24(b).

26 July 2025 Yes, your question is specifically about **Clause 24(b) of Form 3CD** under Section **269T** — and whether **interest paid** should be **included in the repayment amount** when disclosing repayments of loans or deposits.

---

### ✅ **Clarification – Clause 24(b) of Form 3CD:**

**Clause 24(b)** asks for:

> “Particulars of repayment of loan or deposit or any specified advance made otherwise than by account payee cheque or account payee bank draft or use of electronic clearing system through a bank account, where the amount of the loan or deposit or specified advance **together with interest**, if any, was ₹20,000 or more.”

---

### 📌 **So, Do You Include Interest in the Amount Reported?**

✔️ **Yes**, you need to **include interest** while reporting **repayments** in this clause **if**:

* The total amount of loan/deposit/advance **along with interest** **repaid otherwise than by prescribed modes**, and
* The amount is **₹20,000 or more**, **in aggregate** (loan + interest).

---

### 🧾 **Example:**

| Particulars | Amount | Mode of Payment | Report under Clause 24(b)? |
| -------------- | ------- | --------------- | -------------------------- |
| Loan Principal | ₹18,000 | Cash | ❌ No (Below ₹20,000 total) |
| Interest Paid | ₹3,000 | Cash | ✅ Yes (₹21,000 total) |

Even though the **principal is below ₹20,000**, once you **include interest**, and the **aggregate repayment** hits ₹20,000 or more, **reporting is mandatory** if not done via prescribed modes.

---

### 📌 Important Notes:

* If the **repayment** is made **in account payee cheque / bank draft / ECS**, then **reporting is not required**, even if amount > ₹20,000.
* Reporting is required **only** when repayment is made **in violation** of Section 269T (i.e., **in cash or unprescribed modes**).

---

### 🟦 Summary:

* **Yes**, include **interest** while reporting repayments under **clause 24(b)** of **Form 3CD**.
* The **threshold of ₹20,000** is **for principal + interest combined**.
* Only **non-compliant repayments** (e.g., in cash) are reportable.
