Income Tax Rules Set Cash Transaction Limits to Prevent Penalties
The Income Tax Act imposes limits on cash transactions to enhance transparency and prevent tax evasion. Individuals cannot receive Rs 2 lakh or more in cash from a single person in one day or event. Cash loans, deposits, or repayments of Rs 20,000 or more related to immovable property must be made through banking channels. Violations of these provisions can result in penalties equal to the transaction amount. These rules are part of reporting requirements under the Annual Information Statement to monitor high-value transactions.
