Not to worry in the first place. IT dept gets information from Banks where in there are cash deposits aggregating to Rs 10 laks or more in Savings accounts and they call for compliance. Assessee has to explain it. First make sure whether any capital gains on transfer of that asset arise or not. If yes, pay tax for that Asst year and file return. If there is no tax liabilitu, then give reply in compliance that no taxable income.
