Got black money as part of real estate sale. what to do ?

1223 views 2 replies

Hello All,

I had to sell my home last week, and wanted to buy a new one. 

After putting my home for sale for many months, I realised that no one was willing to pay full white money. I finally had to accept around Rs 50 lakhs in cash (with all Rs 500 notes) as a part of the home sale :(

I have not been able to buy a new house with the black money :( After last night's announcement on withdrawal of 500 rupee notes, I am now stuck, as no one will take the 500 rupee notes :(

My questions are :

1) What can I do now ?

2) Is there any way I can legally declare this 50 lakhs, and pay tax on it ? If yes, what is the procedure, and what will the tax be on it ?

 

Thanks for reading my question. It would be a great help if I can get some guidance. Thanks.

Dear,

You have to deposit the black money into your bank account failing which your money would be a useless paper. The trasaction sone for the sale of property has to be reportyed in the income-tax return of the next year. Also, you have the option of buying a house property within 2 years or invest your money into specified bonds to calim exemption from capital gains.

So, just deposit the amount and then plan accordingly. Thanks

Sir,

Thanks for the answer.

Another question, what if this transaction was done 4 years ago, and this money has never been deposited into a bank account, and never reported in any income tax return?

Will the same advice still apply ?

In this case, can I still deposit the money into a bank account in current year, and declare the money in current year's income tax return?

Also, will the regular tax slabs apply, or will there be some additional penalty ?

Note : The sale agreement still says that the sale amount was Rs 10 lakhs.

I do not want to evade tax. Instead I want to pay it. Just trying to understand rules and procedures.
