For the purposes of this clause, the net asset of the firm, association of persons or limited liability partnership shall be (A + B - L), which shall be determined in the manner provided in sub- clause (ii) of clause (c); (g) valuation of any other asset shall be the higher of,- (i) its cost of acquisition or the amount invested; and (ii) the price that the asset would fetch if sold in the open market on the valuation date in an arm's-length transaction: Provided that the indexed cost of acquisition shall be deemed to be the fair market value where the valuation as per sub-clause (ii) is not carried out. (2) Notwithstanding anything contained in sub-rule (1), where an asset (other than a bank account) was transferred before the valuation date, the fair market value of such asset shall be higher of its cost of acquisition and the sale price: Provided that where such asset was transferred without consideration or inadequate consideration before the valuation date, the fair market value of the asset shall be higher of its cost of acquisition and the fair market value on the date of transfer. (3) Where a new asset has been acquired or made out of consideration received on account of transfer of an old asset or withdrawal from a bank account, then the fair market value of the old asset or the bank account, as the case may be, determined in accordance with sub-rule (1) or sub-rule (2) shall be reduced by the amount of the consideration invested in the new asset. Illustration 1: A house property (H1) located outside India was bought in 2014 for twenty lakh rupees. It was sold in 2017 for twenty- five lakh rupees which were deposited in a foreign bank account (BA). In 2018 another house property (H2) was bought for thirty lakh rupees. The investment in H2 was made through withdrawal from BA. H2 has been transferred before the valuation date and its value on the valuation date is fifty lakh rupees. Assuming that the value of BA as computed under clause (e) of sub-rule (1) is seventy lakh rupees, the fair market value (FMV) of the assets shall be as below: FMV of H1: (Higher of ₹20 lakh and ₹25 lakh) - ₹25 lakh (invested in BA) = Nil FMV of BA: ₹70 lakh - ₹30 lakh (invested in H2) = ₹40 lakh FMV of H2: (Higher of ₹30 lakh and ₹50 lakh) = ₹50 lakh Illustration 2: Undisclosed foreign income (FI) of seventy lakh rupees was earned in 2022. An immovable property (FA) located outside India was bought for sixty lakh rupees in 2023. The investment in FA was made through the utilisation of FI. FA has not been transferred before the valuation date and its value on the valuation date is eighty lakh rupees. Given that the value of FI as computed is seventy lakh rupees, the fair market value (FMV) / value of the asset and income shall be as below: Value of FI: ₹70 lakh - ₹60 lakh (invested in FA) = ₹10 Lakh FMV of FA: (Higher of ₹60 lakh and ₹80 lakh) = ₹80 lakh. (4) The fair market value of an asset determined in a currency which is one of the permitted currencies designated by the Reserve Bank of India under the Foreign Exchange Management (Deposit) Regulations, 2016, shall be converted into Indian currency as per the reference rate of the Reserve Bank of India on the valuation date. (5) Where the fair market value of an asset is determined in a currency other than one of the permitted currencies designated by the Reserve Bank of India, then, such value shall be converted into United States Dollar on the valuation date as per the rate specified by the Central Bank of the country or jurisdiction in which the asset is located and such value in United States Dollar shall be converted into Indian currency as per the reference rate of the Reserve Bank of India on the valuation date: Provided that where the Central Bank of the country or jurisdiction in which the asset is located does not specify the rate of conversion from its local currency to United States Dollar then such rate shall be the one as specified by any other bank regulated under the laws of that country or jurisdiction. Explanation 1.— For the purposes of this rule, — (a) "established securities market" means an exchange that is officially recognised and supervised by a Governmental entity in which the market is located and that has a meaningful annual value of shares traded on the exchange; (b) "meaningful annual value of shares traded on the exchange" with respect to an exchange means it has an annual value of shares traded on the exchange (or a predecessor exchange) exceeding one billion United States Dollar during each of the three calendar years immediately preceding the valuation date; (c) "meaningful volume of trading on an on-going basis" with respect to each class of shares means,- (i) trades in each such class are effected, other than in de minimis quantities, on one or more established securities markets on at least sixty business days during the prior calendar year; and (ii) the aggregate number of shares in each such class that are traded on such market or markets during the prior year are at least ten per cent. of the average number of shares outstanding in that class during the prior calendar year; (d) "quoted share or security" means the share or security which has a meaningful volume of trading on an on going basis on an established securities market and is regularly quoted by dealers where they actively do offer to, and in fact do, purchase the share from, and sell the share to, customers who are not related to the dealer in the ordinary course of a business; (e) "unquoted share and security", in relation to a share or security, means a share or security which is not a quoted share or security. 4. Amount payable by declarant.– Where a declarant files a declaration to the income-tax authority under section 132 of the Act, in respect of assets or income as specified in column (2) of the Table in section 133 of the Act, the amount payable by the declarant shall be as specified in column (3), subject to the conditions in column (4) thereof. Illustration 1: • An undisclosed foreign bank account (BA) exists as on 31st March, 2026. The value of BA on that date is ₹60 lakh. The assessee has also earned undisclosed foreign income (FI) of ₹20 lakh during earlier previous years. • The aggregate value of the undisclosed asset on valuation date and undisclosed foreign income is BA+FI (₹60 lakh + ₹20 lakh = ₹80 lakh), which does not exceed ₹1 crore. Hence, the case is covered under serial number 1 of Table in section 133 of the Act. • Computation of tax payable: (i) Tax on undisclosed asset = 30% of ₹60 lakh = ₹18 lakh (ii) Tax on undisclosed foreign income = 30% of ₹20 lakh = ₹6 lakh Aggregate tax = ₹18 lakh + ₹6 lakh = ₹24 lakh • Computation of penalty payable: 100% of aggregate tax = ₹24 lakh • Total amount payable under section 133 of the Act is; ₹24 lakh (tax) + ₹24 lakh (penalty) = ₹48 lakh. Illustration 2: • A plot of land located outside India (FA) was acquired in 2015 from income earned abroad when the assessee was a non-resident. After becoming resident in India, the assessee failed to disclose FA in the relevant Schedule of the return of income. • The value of FA on the valuation date is ₹3 crore (which does not exceed ₹5 crore). Hence, the case is covered under serial number 2 of Table in section 133 of the Act. • Amount payable = fee of ₹1 lakh. Illustration 3: • Certain units of Mutual Fund (MF) abroad were purchased in 2020 from income offered to tax in India when the assessee was a resident. Subsequently, the assessee failed to disclose MF in the relevant Schedule of the return of income. The value of MF on the valuation date is ₹2.5 crore. • The assessee also acquired certain quoted shares and securities (QS) on the New York stock exchange in 2022. The value of QS on the valuation date is ₹4 crore. • The total value of both these assets acquired in year 2020 and 2022, that is, MF + QS is ₹6.5 crore which exceeds ₹5 crore. Hence, the case is not covered under the Table in section 133 of the Act and the assessee is not eligible to declare under this scheme. 5. Declaration of asset or income located outside India.- (1) A declaration in respect of any asset or income referred to in section 133 of the Act shall be made electronically in Form 1 to the income-tax authority such that the aggregate value of undisclosed income and undisclosed assets declared under section 133 (Table: Sl. No 1) shall not exceed ₹1 crore and the aggregate value of undisclosed assets declared under section 133 (Table: Sl. No 2) shall not exceed ₹5 crore. (2) For the purposes of sub-section (3) of section 134 of the Act, where the fair market value of any asset (other than a bank account) declared in Form 1 is at variance with the value determined by the Assessing Officer or any other income- tax authority during the course of any assessment or inquiry proceedings, such declaration shall be deemed not to be invalid or void on the ground of misrepresentation, suppression of facts, or furnishing of false material particulars, only on account of such variance, if such variance does not exceed twenty per cent. of the fair market value so declared.

Illustration: An undisclosed foreign bank account (FA) exists as on 31st March, 2026. The value of FA on that date is ₹80 lakh. Therefore, the total amount payable under section 133 (Table: Sl. No 1) of the Act is ₹48 lakh. Assume the order of the income-tax authority under sub-section (1) of section 135 is passed on 22nd September, 2026. End of the month of order = 30th September, 2026. (i) Payment within two months: Last date without interest = 30th November, 2026. Therefore, if the assessee pays on 25th November, 2026 the amount payable is ₹48 lakh. (ii) Payment after two months but within additional period: (A) Payment on 17th December, 2026- Delay = 1 month (or part thereof) beyond 30th November, 2026. Interest = 1% of ₹48 lakh = ₹48,000. Total amount payable = ₹48,48,000. (B) Payment on 23rd January, 2026- Delay counted = 2 months (or part thereof) beyond 30th November, 2026. Interest = 2% of ₹48 lakh = ₹96,000. Total amount payable = ₹48,96,000. (C) Payment on 5th February, 2026- Maximum additional period allowed is four months from 30th September, 2026, that is, up to 31st January, 2027. Since payment is beyond the permitted period, benefit of the Scheme is not available. 8. Order certifying payment.– The income-tax authority shall pass an order, certifying the validity of the declaration in Form 1 and payment by the declarant for the purposes of section 139 of the Act, within one month from the end of the month of the submission of intimation of payment electronically in Form 4. 9.
