I have a doubt regarding depositing cash in bank as the govt has recently withdrawn the 500 & 1000 Rs Notes.

- I am working for a software company for the past 8 years and i file ITR every year. I have got some cash in hand (which i have earned only from salary), now

a) As per govt notice if i deposit more than 2.5 lacs in my bank account, i may be sent a notice from Income tax dept. If i deposit more than that amount (say 4 Lacs or 8 Lacs) is there a chance to get income tax notice?

four or eight lacs... how could you keep such a big amount with yourself till date when there were banks. no u should not deposit but u can reach RBI to disclose the same after 31st December. I hope it will help

Lets say, I have saved 5 lacs rupees in my bank locker for my sisters wedding and for any other emergencies. This amount has been saved only from my salary. If i deposit this amount, will they (IT) still question me ?

one must go through rbi guidelines. if your return is being filed every year your CA or tax return preparer can answer you better.

if u mention such cash in hand in your ITR then u can deposit this money in ur bank a/c but if u didnt shown this in ur itr tjen it ia better that u deposit only 2,50,000 in ur a/c & remaining amount u should deposit in ur mother, sister or father's a/c. First clear ur position in ur itr then take further decisions.
