How can taxpayers Track their High-Value Transactions?

You can check your Form 26AS to see if any of your transactions have been flagged as “High Value Transactions.” Banks and other financial institutions are required to report specific transaction details through Form 61A, known as the Annual Information Return. These measures are part of the government’s efforts to combat black money and monitor high-value transactions closely.

Under Section 285BA of The Income Tax Act, both individuals and businesses have their high-value transactions monitored to ensure compliance with tax regulations and to prevent tax evasion.
