Dear Mr. Raviraj, Thanks for wonderful article for clear the doubts on black money. I am a salaried person earning 12 lpa. I’m regular paying the tax on same also. I have given the loan in installment to my relative through on-line transaction,and now fortunately I have received 5 lacs from my relatives in liquid cash for repayment loan in cash. If I deposit it in my account. Is there will be tax calculated on the amount??
Raviraj Parekh
Dear Ritesh,
If you have officially shown this money using online transaction it is white money.You need not to worry in this case.You can show this as a loan repayment.No Tax liabilities. However, your relative may face query in case transaction is traced.

If I return money and told them to pay through online as they received. Still they face IT department query.

Around 3 years back, I gave to my friend around Rs. 8.5 lakhs through cash/cheque/through credit card purchase, Now my friend wishes to raise bank loan and pay me back the money through his bank cheque. My point is, if I deposit the cheque worth Rs. 8.5 lakhs to my bank SB account, the transaction will be notified to IT dept. When IT dept question in which way I got this money, how can I convince IT dept that I received the same money that I gave to my friend as loan. Additionally which way I can prepare paper from my friend to establish that the cheque I deposit is not attracted under IT Act. Please help me.

Dear Suresh,
