Assessment under the Black Money Act and Voluntary Disclosure Scheme

FAQs

Assessment โ€” Black Money Act questions answered

What people ask before engaging us.

The penalty ranges from nil (for some assets) to 60% depending on the amount and type of income or asset. Safe-harbour limits exist โ€” staying within them means no scrutiny and final closure once tax is paid.
No. Voluntary Disclosure must be made before any communication from the department. Once a notice is issued, you are in assessment and cannot use the scheme.
Safe-harbour protections apply only if the full amount disclosed is paid before a set date. Missing that deadline means loss of the no-scrutiny guarantee and potential reopening under Section 147.
You must disclose all undisclosed income and assets to claim safe harbour. Selective disclosure does not qualify; the scheme requires full and complete revelation.
