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.
