Neha ji Ambala mein boutique chalati hain. Saal bhar unhone dukaan ka cash apne personal savings account mein jama kiya, kabhi ₹2.5 lakh to kabhi ₹3 lakh. Julai mein ek dost ne kaha: "₹10 lakh se upar gaya to income tax notice pakka!" Neha ji ne ghabra kar deposit rok diya aur dukaan ka cash almirah mein rakhne lagin. Kya ye sahi tha? Bilkul nahi. Ye guide SFT ka asli matlab, limits aur notice ka real trigger saaf karti hai.
Quick Summary
- Savings jaise accounts mein saal bhar mein ₹10 lakh ya zyada cash deposit bank dwara report hota hai
- Current account ke liye cash deposit ya withdrawal ka SFT threshold ₹50 lakh ya zyada hai
- Reporting ka matlab tax nahi hai, aur notice bhi apne aap nahi aata
- Notice ka asli trigger hai reported data aur aapki ITR ya income ke beech mismatch
- Deposit ko todna reporting nahi rokta kyunki bank saal ka total dekhta hai
SFT Kya Hai Aur Kaun Report Karta Hai?
SFT ka matlab Statement of Financial Transactions hai. Banks, mutual fund houses, post office, registrars jaise "reporting entities" kuch high-value transactions ki details har saal Income Tax Department ko bhejte hain. Ye framework Income-tax Act, 1961 ki Section 285BA mein tha aur ab naye Income-tax Act, 2025 aur Income-tax Rules, 2026 ke tahat chalta hai. Ye data aapke AIS mein dikhta hai, aur wahin se department aapki ITR se match karta hai.
Kin Transactions Par SFT Report Banti Hai
| Transaction | Threshold (ek financial year mein) |
|---|---|
| Cash deposit, savings jaise accounts (current account aur time deposit ke alawa) | ₹10 lakh ya zyada (ek hi bank ke saare accounts ka total) |
| Current account mein cash deposit ya cash withdrawal | ₹50 lakh ya zyada (deposit aur withdrawal alag dekhe jaate hain) |
| Time deposit (FD) jama karna | ₹10 lakh ya zyada |
| Credit card bill ka payment | Cash mein ₹1 lakh ya zyada, ya kisi aur mode se ₹10 lakh ya zyada |
| Mutual fund units ki kharid | ₹10 lakh ya zyada |
Ye sabse common limits hain. Property, shares, forex jaise aur transactions par bhi reporting hoti hai, aur Income-tax Rules, 2026 ke baad kuch formats update hue hain. Isliye apna AIS khud dekhna sabse bharosemand tareeka hai. Naye PAN quoting rules (Income-tax Rules, 2026) mein reports ke mutabiq daily ₹50,000 ke test ki jagah saal bhar ke aggregate ka concept aaya hai. Apne bank se confirm kar lein ki aapke case mein PAN ya form kab zaroori hai.
Report Se Notice Tak: Beech Mein Kya Hota Hai
- Bank saal ke ant mein SFT file karta hai.
- Data aapke AIS (Annual Information Statement) mein dikhne lagta hai.
- Aap ITR file karte hain aur income, business receipts aur deposits ka mel baithta hai.
- Mel na baithne par department verification request ya notice bhej sakta hai.
- Aap documents ke saath explanation dete hain. Explain ho gaya to aage kuch nahi.
Worked Example: Neha Ji Ke Deposits
- Savings account mein cash deposits: April ₹2.5 lakh, July ₹3 lakh, October ₹2.5 lakh, January ₹3 lakh = ₹11 lakh.
- ₹11 lakh, ₹10 lakh ke threshold se upar hai, to bank iska SFT report karega aur AIS mein cash deposit ki entry dikhegi.
- Neha ji ki dukaan ki books mein cash sales ₹18 lakh dikhti hain aur ITR mein wo income shown hai. Deposit unhi sales se aaye hain.
- Natija: books, bills aur ITR ke saath deposit explain ho jaate hain. Notice aaye bhi to jawab dena aasaan hai.
- Agar books mein sirf ₹6 lakh sales hoti aur ₹11 lakh jama hota, to mismatch ₹5 lakh ka hota. Wahi asli risk hai.
Behtar practice: dukaan ka cash business ke current account mein jama karein. Current account ka SFT threshold ₹50 lakh hai, aur books bhi saaf rehti hain. Ye accounting ka sahi tareeka hai, reporting se bachne ka jugaad nahi.
Kab Notice Ka Risk Zyada, Kab Kam
| Situation | Risk | Kya karein |
|---|---|---|
| Deposit books aur ITR ki income se match karte hain | Kam | Cash book aur bills sambhaal kar rakhein |
| Deposit declared income se kaafi zyada hain | Zyada | Source ke documents jama karein, ITR check karein |
| Property ya jewellery bechne ka cash | Medium | Sale deed aur payment proof ke saath ITR mein capital gains dikhayein |
| Rishtedaar se cash udhaar ya gift | Medium | Bank transfer aur likhit proof lein, cash loan ke rules dekhein |
| AIS mein galat ya duplicate entry | Kam, agar sudhaar karein | AIS mein feedback dein aur record rakhein |

Frequently Asked Questions
Kya bank mein ₹10 lakh se zyada cash jama karna mana hai?
Nahi. Ye ban nahi, reporting threshold hai. Savings jaise accounts mein ek financial year mein ₹10 lakh ya usse zyada cash jama hone par bank ye jaankari Income Tax Department ko SFT ke through report karta hai. Cash ka source explain kar sakte hain to aap aage bhi deposit kar sakte hain.
₹10 lakh se kam deposit par notice aa sakta hai kya?
Ho sakta hai. SFT limit ek reporting trigger hai, notice ki guarantee ya immunity nahi. Agar deposit aapki declared income se mel nahi khaate ya doosre data se mismatch hote hain, to chhote amount par bhi enquiry ho sakti hai. Isliye har deposit ka source samajhna zaroori hai.
Current account mein cash deposit ki limit kya hai?
Current account ke liye SFT threshold ₹50 lakh ya zyada hai, jo cash deposits aur cash withdrawals par alag-alag dekha jaata hai. Business ki receipts current account mein jama karna aam taur par saaf accounting ka tareeka hai.
Agar kai banks mein cash jama karun to kya hisaab alag hota hai?
Reporting har bank apne yahan aapke accounts ka total dekh kar karta hai. Lekin sirf is wajah se alag-alag banks mein deposit karna sahi strategy nahi hai, kyunki sawaal reporting ka kam aur source ke explanation ka zyada hai. Honest records hi asli suraksha hain.
Bank ne cash deposit report kiya hai, ye kaise pata chalega?
Apne e-filing portal par login karke Annual Information Statement (AIS) kholein. Wahan cash deposit ki entry SFT category mein dikhti hai. Agar entry galat ya duplicate hai, to usi AIS mein feedback de sakte hain.
Kya CDM ya branch mein roz limit se kam deposit karna safe hai?
Roz chhote deposit karne se annual aggregate nahi badalta. Bank saal bhar ka total jodta hai, isliye deposit ko todkar karne se reporting nahi rukti. Bank apni policy ke hisaab se alag limits ya charges rakh sakta hai, par wo Income Tax ka rule nahi hai.
Cash deposits ka source documents ke saath explain karna hai ya AIS mein koi entry samajh nahi aa rahi? Hamari income tax return filing service mein hum AIS aur books ka mel karke hi ITR file karte hain.
