Step 1. The man who needs the cash will buy 10 gold bars of Rs 5 lakh each. A perfectly official transaction. Here, he will pay in cheque to the jeweller and collect the bullion.
Step 2. He then ‘gifts’ the gold to the other man, who gives him the cash equivalent. Thus, the person who was looking for cash gets it.
Step 3. The person who receives the gold sells it in the market to recover his money. Again, an official transaction and the cheque he receives from the jeweller is deposited in his bank.

We are Chartered Accountants. Our responsibilities are towards industry as well as towards Nation. Though we all know how to convert black money into white, it's not a legal transaction on which we should advice. It's like a smuggler is doing smuggling but paying tax so the ill business of smuggling becomes legal....of course it won't!!! Illegal things are always illegal.
