Adhia said the declarations of unaccounted cash made under the scheme will be kept confidential. He also said black money deposited in banks doesn’t automatically turn white unless tax is paid on it.

Under the PMGKY scheme, unaccounted income can be disclosed and a 50 per cent tax paid on said income to avoid harsh punishment for holding on to black money in the future.
