Quick Summary

You can purchase agricultural land with a cash payment of up to £2 lakhs if both the buyer and seller are agriculturalists and have no taxable income. However, for most immovable property transactions, Section 269SS of the Income Tax Act strictly limits cash payments to £20,000. Exceeding this limit can result in a 100% penalty.
