Black Money Tax: Government's New Income Declaration Scheme in 10 Points.

With the ban on 500 and 1,000-rupee notes now more than two weeks old, the government has proposed new rules to tax black money that is being unearthed. The bill was submitted on Monday for parliament's review by Finance Minister Arun Jaitley as the government is being attacked by a united opposition over its sudden withdrawal of 86 per cent of the notes in circulation to check black money and corruption. The move has plunged the country, especially rural India, into a major cash shortage.

1. The old 500-and 1,000-rupee notes must be deposited in banks by the end of the year. Deposits over 2.5 lakhs will be studied by tax officials.
2. Those who acknowledge they have placed black or previously untaxed money in their accounts will pay 50 per cent in a combination of levies and taxes.                                                                                                                                                                                                                       Original Source: http://bit.ly/2g0cnc2
