This discussion addresses the permissibility of paying a rent advance of Rs 10 lakh entirely in cash, spread over multiple days. The core question is whether such a payment complies with the Income Tax Act's limits on cash transactions. The consensus is that while daily cash payments might seem permissible, the Act generally restricts cash transactions above certain thresholds, especially for a single event like a rent advance, making this large cash payment likely disallowed.
