A notification by the Central Board of Direct Taxes (CBDT) said "… the term transactions include deposit/withdrawal of cash amounting to ₹20 lakh or more in a financial year through one or more bank accounts. Account(s) with not just a commercial bank but even co-operative bank or post offices."

The notification also said that any person who intends to make these transactions should apply for a PAN at least seven days before the date on which the transaction is intended to be made.

There is also a requirement for quoting PAN on bank deposits of over ₹50,000 made in one day.
