1. Is purchasing materials worth ₹50,00,000 in cash acceptable?
Legally, large cash purchases are generally discouraged and can raise red flags.
Under the Income Tax Act and GST laws, cash transactions above ₹2 lakh are restricted or require special disclosures.
For purchases exceeding ₹2 lakh, payment should preferably be made through banking channels (cheque, electronic transfer) to ensure transparency and avoid compliance issues.
Cash purchases of ₹50 lakhs are highly unusual and may invite scrutiny from tax authorities.
2. Regarding consumable purchases worth ₹50 lakhs shown in P&L:
If consumables are purchased mostly in cash for such a large amount, it can be questioned on:
Source of funds: How was cash accumulated for such a big purchase?
GST Input Tax Credit (ITC): Proper invoices with GST must be available to claim ITC.
Audit & Compliance: Large cash expenses require supporting documents and may be challenged during audit.
