While his total disbursements are below £10 lakhs annually, the single cash transaction raises concerns under Section 269ST of the IT Act, which prohibits receiving cash of £2 lakhs or more. Additionally, Section 269T, concerning loan repayments, has a £20,000 limit. The advice given is that these Income Tax Act sections apply universally to all assesses, regardless of loan type or location.
