" But where it is written that it is not mandatory?"
No !!! It is clearly written that it is mandatory to file the SFT "in respect of specified financial transactions for any reportable account registered/recorded/maintained by them during the financial year to the income-tax authority or such other prescribed authority"
Also mandatory "to furnish the statement within a period not exceeding 30 days from the date of service of any notice from concern officer and in such a case the person shall furnish the statement within the time as specified in the notice"
Also mandatory to file NIL transaction statement, once registered under ITDREIN !!!!
Here in this mail also it is clearly stated: You are requested to submit the "SFT Preliminary Response" under compliance section post login to eFiling portal.
