If you don't have a bank account, create a new account in any bank of your choice. For depositing up to Rs 2.50 lakh in the new account, you can write as "Earnings in cash for the financial year 2016-17 deposited due to demonetization". People who have already deposited some money in accounts can also try this method.

You should pay advance tax on it and include it in your total income for the assessment year 2017-18. You will have to pay about 33% tax. Then the question of penalty on declared income cannot arise.
