Instances have been brought to the notice of the Board that some taxpayers are of the view that if a capital asset acquired out of undisclosed income is sold before 01.06.2016 and the sale proceeds so received are held in cash, then the amount of undisclosed income required to be declared under the Scheme shall be the amount of undisclosed income invested in acquisition of such capital asset as increased by the capital gain arising on sale of such asset determined in accordance with the provisions of the Income-tax Act, 1961(i.e.sale consideration less indexed cost of acquisition).
2. In this context, it is clarified that the above method for arriving at the amount of undisclosed income for declaration under the Scheme is not in accordance with the provisions of the Scheme and clarificatory circulars issued by the Board from time-to-time.

In this context, it may be noted that cash in hand is an asset for the purposes of the Scheme.
