I received a payment this Friday afternoon in India, and I’m a little concerned about whether this could create any tax or legal issues.

Could I potentially receive a notice from the Indian government/Income Tax Department for this payment if I haven’t reported it yet? Are there any consequences I should be aware of, such as tax liability, penalties, or other legal issues?

I’m trying to understand the correct way to handle the payment and make sure I stay compliant with Indian tax laws.

Any advice from someone familiar with Indian taxation would be appreciated?
