04 April 2015 By tax authorities, Cash transactions are generally seen with a suspicion.
.
However, production of such evidences as you have mentioned here in above may be helpful in providing explanation for the transactions which are otherwise unexplained. If you can present the parties, in case asked by the AO and the parties respond properly, then the AO has to accept your explanation.
.
Still it is advisable not to indulge in such type of transactions as the replies given by us may create an unending series of questions which can difficult to be
answered.
