Quick Summary
Cash purchase of a car above Rs 2 lakh is restricted under income tax rules. Such transactions may attract penalties. Payment should be made through banking channels to ensure compliance, even if seller agrees to accept cash.

Seller won't accept cash more than 2 lakhs.
Legally, you cannot do a cash transaction of more than ₹2 lakhs in a day. Unofficially, you can purchase the car on full cash. There are many dealers especially in states where laws are tax, who have no problems in cash transactions above ₹2 lakhs and people are buying cars on full cash payments from those dealers.
It would violate section 40 of IT Act. Pay through cheque
Is he going to use the car for business or for personal purpose
Please give more details of background of seller, buyer and purpose of car to be used
Thank you so much for clarifying my doubts .

He is going to use for his personal purpose, even seller has agreed to receive cash payment rather than cheque .

so much cash payment cannot be made in a day?

10k rupees should be paid in cash in a single day

YOU EDOT
