Quick Summary

This discussion explores the income tax implications of showing an unsecured loan as received via cash when the payee might refuse to pay. It highlights the potential consequences under Section 269T of the Income Tax Act, particularly concerning penalties for cash transactions.

26 September 2024 Sir, does not section 269T impose penalty only on person who pays the amount in cash ? I f I show my loan as received in cash, whether any penalty can also be imposed on me ?

26 September 2024 That is what I want to specify, when he will be queried about the loan repayment (& hence penalty) he will deny the fact, In that case you will be caught for unaccounted money & hence legal consequences.
