Section 269SS prohibits a taxpayer from taking/accepting loans or deposits or a sum of more than Rs.20,000 in cash. All loans and deposits of more than Rs.20,000 must always be taken through a banking channel. 1 Yes both sections applicable on the above transaction. 2 Company is liable and customer is liable if he is a tax payer.

Ok, sir. How a company is liable??? As per Sec 269SS, 100 % is for a person who is accepting or taking a loan more than Rs 20000. As per Sec 269T, 100% penalty for person repaying the loan in cash more than Rs 20000. Here the company is paying the loan in cash to the customer. So Sec 269SS is applicable only to the customer. And on repayment of Rs 20000, Sec 269T is applicable only to the customer. Kindly advise.
