16 June 2015 Section 40(a)(3) of Income tax provides that any expenditure incurred by an assessee (whether individual, company, firm etc.) above Rs. 20000/- other than by account payee cheque or draft shall not be allowed as a deduction. This section covers those payments over Rs. 20000/- made by bearer cheque or cash.
However, if the payments are made for hiring or leasing carriages for goods such as lorries, trucks etc then the limit is extended to Rs 35000/-.

you can purchase assets exceeding Rs. 20000/- in cash.

But from 1/06/2015 cash payments exceeding Rs.100000/- need to be backed by PAN No.
