03 July 2019 Thanks for your answer sir.
If he has 10 clients and he receives cash payment from all of them which is less than 2 lacs per client then will the provision of sec 269st apply?
One more query sir. If there is any notice from IT department regarding these cash transaction then how one can prove the genuineness of these transaction?
