Hello,
My query is that can a company accept an amount exceeding Rs. 20,000 in cash , as an advance from debtor?
Also, please confirm provisions of Sec 206C (TCS) if services rendered during year exceed 2L (different invoices have been made).

Hi,

If you want to receive the payment in cash than tell the debtors to deposit it directly in bank accounts by cash mode it can not violate the section 40 (a) (3).

Section 206c is applied for single invoice only if different invoice has been prepared than this section is not applicable.
