I-T department's stock and flow problem
Business Standard|September 23, 2024
My friend Milind called in a panic after receiving a notice from the Income-Tax (I-T) Department. It asked him to explain the source of a fixed deposit worth a couple of crore, made in July 2021, as his declared income for 2021-22 was only in single-digit lakh. This implied the deposit came from unaccounted income.

Another friend Subhas received a notice for spending ₹25 lakh on a foreign tour in 2023, when his declared income for the year was around ₹10 lakh.

A third friend Nitya was also asked to explain the source of her ₹50 lakh investment in a startup when her declared income for the year was ₹30 lakh.

All of them had valid explanations. Milind had sold shares in 2020-21 and deposited the proceeds into a capital gains account of a nationalised bank in 2021-22 to avail of capital gains tax exemption. Subhas, a retired executive, had used his hard-earned savings from his 35-year career to fund his well-deserved foreign trips. Nitya had cashed in her Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP) from a startup a year ago and had invested a part of it in other startups.
