Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies the cash payment limits for purchasing goods under the Indian IT Act. While an initial thought suggested a Rs 2 lakh limit per transaction, the correct rule, according to Section 40A(3) of the IT Act 1961, restricts cash payments to Rs 10,000 per day per person. Payments exceeding this limit cannot be claimed as a business expense deduction for tax purposes.
