The ministry has clearly stated that if a user uninstalls the DigiYatra app from his mobile, all his data will be deleted automatically. Not only this, the airport system itself deletes all the data of the passengers 24 hours after the flight takes off. It is also worth noting here that the DigiYatra app is designed only for domestic passengers and it does not apply to international travelers.

The Ministry of Civil Aviation hereby clarifies that the recent media report concerning Digi Yatra is based on unfounded and inaccurate claims.

There is no sharing of Digi Yatra passengers data with Indian tax authorities. The Digi Yatra app follows the Self-Sovereign Identity…

On this matter, DigiYatra CEO Suresh Khadakabhav himself has denied such reports which talked about using DigiYatra’s data. He also issued a statement regarding this, which he also posted on his ex account.

Rules for depositing money in savings account:

As per the income tax rules, there is a limit on cash deposits in savings account. You can deposit up to 1 lakh rupees in cash in a day. According to a Forbes report, if you deposit 10 lakh rupees or more in a financial year, you will have to inform the IT department. But if you have a current account, the limit is 50 lakh rupees. According to the report, it is a rule for financial institutions to report transactions above these limits to the Income Tax Department.

[ The Income Tax Department has set this limit to keep an eye on the cash transactions of savings accounts, current accounts and financial institutions so that money laundering, tax evasion and other illegal financial activities can be prevented. ]

Know what is section 194A

If you withdraw more than Rs 1 crore from your savings account in a financial year, then 2% TDS will be deducted on it. Those who have not filed ITR for the last three years will have to pay 2% TDS, that too only on withdrawal of more than Rs 20 lakh and if such people have withdrawn Rs 1 crore in a financial year, then 5% TDS will be levied on them.

Section 269ST

Under Section 269ST of the Income Tax Act, if a person deposits Rs 2 lakh or more in cash in a particular financial year, then a penalty will be imposed on it. However, this penalty is not imposed on withdrawing money from the bank. Let us tell you that TDS deduction is applicable on withdrawals above a specific limit.

The matter will also be sent to NFFC

It said that where no return has been furnished in response to the notice under section 142(1) of the Act, such case shall be referred to the National Faceless Assessment Center (NaFAC), who shall take further action.

Right to give notice to tax authorities under section 142(1)
