You should deposit the cash amount in bank account under small divisions like 100000 rupees in a day etc.. after depositing all of the amount you should fixed deposit such amount then no problem will happen

my father was holding savings account with a bank with my Mother as the joint holder.

He also had a Fixed Deposit with the same bank. The FD certificate was misplaced by my father. Recently my father expired in 2023 and my Mother had expired in year 2021 . I am the sole nominee to both the savings A/c and this FD account. As a part of the death claim the FD amount and SB accounts was to be transferred to my savings account and their account closed in your system. However as per the branch I need to file police complaint, apply advertisement in local and regional paper. Since im the nominee cant the FD and savings amount be transferred to my account and their account closed.

House sale proceeds and Sec 54:

• Selling a house for Rs 30 lakh: if it's long-term (held over 24 months), you can save LTCG by investing in another residential house (Sec 54) or 54EC bonds. Investing in RDs or FDs doesn't give an exemption.

• If you can't buy a house before your ITR due date, deposit the gain (not the entire proceeds) in a Capital Gains Account Scheme account at a bank, and use it within 2 or 3 years.

• Interest on FDs or RDs is taxable at slab rates.

• If the house was received through cash (Rs 10 lakh of Rs 30 lakh), that's a 269SS/269ST violation (receiving Rs 2 lakh or more in cash), with a penalty equal to the amount.
