FAQ :
The Income Tax Department has detected ₹22,000 crore worth of undisclosed foreign assets and investments.
The government's objective is to track black money stashed abroad and ensure tax compliance.
The undeclared assets include land and real estate holdings, foreign securities and investments, and dividends earned from offshore sources.
Failure to declare foreign assets can attract penalties of up to ₹10 lakh, along with additional scrutiny and legal action under the Black Money Act.
The department used information from tax treaties, data-sharing agreements with foreign jurisdictions, analysis of overseas remittance data, and verification of Form 15CC.
Taxpayers are advised to ensure accurate reporting of foreign assets in their ITRs, respond promptly to tax department notices, and seek professional advice if unsure about compliance.
