Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies whether cash payments exceeding £2 Lakhs received by a firm from a partner are subject to Section 269ST of the Income Tax Act. Initially, there was some confusion, but the consensus reached is that such capital contributions *are* indeed covered by Section 269ST, as its provisions apply to all receipts regardless of nature or relationship, unless specifically exempted. A workaround suggested is to deposit the cash into the partner's bank account and then transfer it to the firm's account via cheque.

No don't attract
It will attract
Extremely sorry. yes it will attract.

(i) Capital contributions made by the partner to the firm : This transaction is related to the receipt by the firm from its partner. The provisions of Section 269ST are very well applicable to this also. It is so because the provisions of Section 269ST are applicable to each and every receipt irrespective of its nature and irrespective of relation between the parties.

It is applicable (i) whether the receipt is for business purpose or for personal purpose (ii) whether the receipt is with or without consideration (iii) whether the receipt is of capital or revenue nature.

It is not applicable only in cases – (i) where there is specific exclusion / exemption in the Section 269ST itself ; or (ii) where exemption has been granted by the government way of any notification ; or (iii) non applicability has been clarified by the government by way of any clarification etc.

There is no specific exclusion / exemption / clarification etc. regarding capital contribution made by the partner to its firm. Therefore, the provisions of Section 269ST are very well applicable to the capital contribution made by the partner to the firm.
