Parliament has told the House that the phrase “black money” is not an expression in the Income-tax Act or in the Black Money Act. What the department investigates is undisclosed income and undisclosed foreign assets. An income tax complaint about black money is therefore a report of facts, not a magic form.
Quick Answer Box
Service problems: e-Nivaran on incometax.gov.in. Alleged evasion: written, specific facts to the department / Investigation channel published for informants. No official black-money app. No paid “complaint service.” Keep the acknowledgement number. Do not invent a case.
How Can I File an Income Tax Complaint Related to Black Money in India?
Split the file before you type.
1. You are the taxpayer and something is wrong with your own case
Refund stuck, TDS mismatch, portal error, demand you think is wrong. That is e-Nivaran, the grievance module.
Steps on the department manual:
- Open incometax.gov.in.
- Log in (or use the unregistered path with name, email, mobile and OTP).
- Grievances → Submit Grievance.
- Pick department, category, sub-category.
- Write at least the stated character minimum. Upload papers if you have them.
- Save the grievance acknowledgement number.
A 2026 portal addition under the same grievance tree also lets users flag corruption/harassment by officers. That is misbehaviour, not a neighbour’s cash.
2. You suspect someone has hidden income or foreign asset
That is information. It’s not a customer care ticket.
Useful Full name and the identifiers you know in fact
- Full name and identifiers you actually know
- Where (country for foreign assets)ar)
- Where (including country, for foreign assets)
- What NOT to send: gossip, screenshots from unknown origins that have been edited, a demand that the officer “raid tomorrow.”uments you lawfully hold
What not to send: gossip, edited screenshots of unknown origin, a demand that the officer “raid tomorrow.”
In the past, a few informant frameworks have been published such as Income Tax Informants Reward Scheme, 2018 and Benami Transactions Informants Reward Scheme, 2018. Tips about foreign assets have been described as going to Member (Investigation), CBDT, North Block, with specific not vague information. Reward is discretionary, capped and only paid if tax actually arises. Treat every WhatsApp “we get you 10 percent” shop as a different risk.
How to complaint income tax department about black money, in practice: official portal or the Investigation address the department currently publishes. No TV phone in.
Income Tax Complaint for Black Money Online
Income tax complaint for black money online means the department website, not a start-up.
Which online platforms allow me to report black money income tax issues confidentially?
- incometax.gov.in grievances / e-Nivaran
- Channels listed on the same site for Investigation / informant correspondence
- CPGRAMS for a central public grievance if you are stuck on a service issue
Confidentiality is a department rule, not encryption from a private ‘report black money’ website. E-Nivaran not registered still collects a mobile and email.
For portal issues, complaint to income tax department about black money via email has been pointed at addresses like webmanager@incometax.gov.in. Foreign-asset letters of the investigative grade follow the informant, not the webmaster.
Phone Number
Income tax black money complaint phone number search is mostly for raid hotline. There is no consumer “black money kiosk.”
Use numbers printed on incometax.gov.in (helpdesk/1961- campaign numbers have changed, copy the live page). Board numbers are listed by the State Investigation directorates. If you see a random “IT complaint” number in an ad, it’s typically some lead-gen shop.
Services and Apps
Q. What are the services that can help me report undisclosed black money to income tax department?
If you are an informant with documents, a chartered accountant can help you to organise facts, or help you disclose your own omission (revised / updated return, and any live small-taxpayer foreign-asset disclosure window the Finance Act of that year created). They can’t sell a guarantyd raid.
Are there mobile apps to file income tax complaints on black money?
The official route is the e-filing website (and any official department app that just wraps the same login). Third party “black money reporter” APKs are not from CBDT.
Track the Status of the Complaint
What is the process to track the status of my income tax complaint on black money?
- e-Nivaran: Grievances → status, using the acknowledgement number.
- Informant letter: there is often no public tracker like a courier ID. Follow-up is with the office that issued a diary number, if any.
- Do not phone the assessing officer of the person you named and ask “did you raid them.”
If you reported your own missed foreign asset, the live path is usually AIS review, revised or updated return, and Schedule FA—not a complaint against yourself dressed as a tip.
Table 1: Financial & Technical Data Matrix – Which Door
| Situation | Door |
| Own refund / TDS / portal | e-Nivaran |
| Officer misconduct | e-Nivaran corruption category |
| Alleged third-party evasion | Investigation / informant channel |
| Benami property allegation | Benami informant scheme path |
| Own missed Schedule FA | Revise / update ITR, not a tip on yourself |
Risk Analysis: Eleven Complaint Errors
- Filing a grievance and thinking a search warrant follows.
- Paying a “complaint consultant.”
- Using an unofficial app.
- Sending unsigned rumours.
- Expecting a published reward on day 30.
- Naming the wrong PAN out of spite.
- Tracking an informant letter like a Speed Post.
- Mixing Black Money Act (foreign) with domestic cash gossip.
- Ignoring your own AIS while reporting a neighbour.
- Calling a TV number.
- Believing “black money” is a drop-down that starts a prosecution by itself.
Table 2: Generic Advice vs. Strategic Thinking Matrix
| Decision Point | Generic Advice | Strategic Thinking |
| Phone number | “Toll-free raid line” | Live department page |
| App | “Download reporter” | e-filing site |
| Confidential | “Private website” | Department process |
| Reward | “Guaranteed 10%” | Discretionary schemes |
| Own FA gap | “Complain anonymously” | File the return correctly |
Strategic thinking sends facts to the state and keeps a copy of what was sent.
Closing Perspective
An income tax complaint about black money is either a service grievance or information about undisclosed income or assets. Use incometax.gov.in for the first. Use the Investigation / informant route the department publishes for the second. There is no official bounty app. Track only the number the portal gave you. If the omission is yours, fix the return.
This is generic info, not a short to file a case and not an invitation to harass anyone.

How can WealthMunshi help?
WealthMunshi is meant for tax planning support for legal disclosure and ITR correction and not for running campaigns of complaints against third parties.
The problem is the return, not a neighbour’s form. A missed Schedule FA. Readers who received an AIS foreign-asset nudge can schedule a disclosure review before they confuse a grievance ticket for an informant letter.
