Well, Banks and financial institutions are required to send information about people who've deposited/spent more than 10 Lakhs in a FY to IT department. So let's say you transact 9 Lakhs on HDFC and 9 Lakhs on SBI while your income is just 5 Lakhs. There's no need for you to worry about the transactions in SBI and HDFC being sent to IT Dept.

However, if your ITR gets picked for Assessment, then the AO can also scrutinze your bank transactions. Then this 9+9 will also come into picture. The possibility of second case happening is very less.

The rule:
The total amount of payments made into one’s CC account across all the CCs you have in a Bank exceeds 10L during a FY..
It is not :
1) total of transactions
2) total of outstanding amount shown after bill statement…

It is the total you paid into a CC account///

See rule below:

So in this second case, can you explain your way out of it? Since rotation isn’t technically income

The only way out would be to prove that those are not income. When you incur expenses which is not commensurate with your income, IT only cares about you proving that it was not your income and nothing else. You'll have to maintain transaction records. That will save you.

As of now, 2nd case is not happening, but banks has our details and ITD can ask those details anytime. Atleast now onwards, we have to match our spends and income.

it's not about bills generated. Banks notify to ITD about how much you paid towards your credit card. So simple.

ITD can change it at anytime. They are continuesly updating their software, once they feel that can process the data then possibility is their that they can ask every rupee of our spends.
Note: ITD already tracking our foreign currency spends.
 
Still counted towards spends. It's not the bills, transactions that count.

Say, my annual income is 1L and in a FY I have spent 3L combining all of my credit cards (many of the transactions are for others). I don't have any income proof. And say, none of the payment towards the credit card is done by cash. In this case, as the total amount is still much less than 10L, is there a chance to get IT notice?

Generally speaking NO. But, you can never ever be risking taking chances with the ITD. ITD rules n their filtering processes are extremely dynamic. So, can't take things for granted while dealing with them. So, be on the safer side always.

Just dont worry .. nothing happens... Enjoy life..
You are nothing in the eyes of ITD as far as the above spend profile is concerned ..

Even if this includes loading wallet and then transferring it back to savings account? And what if it's 5L in stead of 3L?

You are safe till 10L, this line is perfect answer for all your queries.

It doesnt work like that. For some reason if your IT returns is picked up for audit or if you receive notice on your IT returns (even of not related to CC spends) then your entire tax filing, payments etc are reviewed in which case you will end up with questions related your CC spends if those are not in line with your income.

Also as long as you can justify CC spends / payments even if above your filed income, its OK. Classic case is those with Agricultural income.
