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.
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.
