My annual income is 4 lacs 20 thousands in 2024-25 FY . I spent around 7.5 lacs by credit card in 2024-2025 FY. Maximum spend is for my relatives. Should I worry about that ?

Usually banks mark SFT over a credit card bill payment of 10 lacs or a cash deposit of over 1 lac. How did your relatives pay you back?

atleast keep the invoices and screenshots of the payment received from them for credit card bill payment. Plus try ki online transfer ho, cash handle karna is a big red flag because they also won't be able to justify where they got that cash. dheere dheer mana kar dena bhai ye kaam karne se.
 
This is a classic case of credit card spends being misinterpreted as income by the IT department. ₹68.97 lakhs spent doesn’t mean that much income was earned... it could very well be credit card rotation, loans, or money already taxed.

The notice under Section 156 and addition under Section 69C (unexplained expenditure) usually happens when a taxpayer doesn’t file returns or fails to explain the source of funds. Since this person hasn’t filed returns since AY 2020–21, the IT Dept is treating the spends as unexplained and taxing it at 60%+ penalty, which resulted in the ₹1.12 crore demand.

The right approach here is not to panic but to reply through a qualified CA or tax lawyer, submit bank statements, card statements, and proof of income/funds. Once explained properly, the demand should come down drastically or even get dropped.

Moral of the story: high credit card usage is not a problem, but always file ITR and keep proper documentation so spends are matched with income.

Despite conducting a significant transaction during the financial year, he had the audacity not to file his ITR, which is the root of the problem. If he had filed his ITR, his CA would have been able to help him address the issue. It's clear that he doesn't have a CA, doesn't file his ITR, and eventually this lack of action came back to haunt him after four years!
 
Nhi utha paayega if it's legit rotation. Touch bhi nhi kar paayega.Logo ne faaltu ki hawa banake rakkhi hai of ED & IT
ED people r much more crooked than IT people. PMLA is one of the most dangerous acts in India. They will punish first and then begin investigation afterwards to see if the punishment is right or wrong. They didnt even spare Delhi's CM despite zero proofs. Always better to play by the rule in money matters

Delhi ka CM / other AAP arrests were politically motivated. But yes hote toh khatarnak hai woh log.
