TF Select
I hold following bank accounts

  1. ICICI Bank (Savings) - For salary crediting and investments
  2. IDFC First Bank (Savings) - for savings purposes, it gives good rate of interest.
  3. DBS - Idk why I am still holding this.
  4. Paytm Payments Bank - Had opened it long back, not sure why I am holding this too.
  5. Fi.money - For day to day transactions as my primary savings account would get cluttered with few hundred rupees transactions.
  6. Jupiter - Had opened alongside with Fi, thinking to close this.

So Out of all these Banks & Accounts. What are the Must Have Accounts?

It's very easy to handle during ITR u know..... before I used to struggle.

All rent will go into one account. .... total deposits in a year is rent income.

All money from parents in a month will come to AU bank. So it's exempted income.

My upcoming salary in kotak.

All spending in Jupiter and credit cards.

Investments I have spread into 4 accounts. I keep depositing and withdrawal from demat. So I see capital gains only.

All money from friends in one account..... especially my close friends.

Before everything in one account. Money from friends is an loan. Not gift.


It's super easy to sort my accounts you know

As for income tax from age of 19 I started filling. I'm 23 now. I do it myself.

I'm going on trips like outings, trekking. So I use fi as even my friends payment will be in this. After wards will be split and return equally leftover cash. Before I used to use kotak only for this. This is best for me as I can get statment later on
 
New ITR forms: Taxpayers will have to disclose cash receipts, all bank accounts -

The Economic Times -


Details ALL accounts are to be disclosed - together with cash receipts - to the ITD from this year onwards.

So, be prepared. And, be careful.
