Yes its applicable to borrower and the penalty levied is 100% of the amount accepted/repaid as loan or deposit in cash. So it is better not to accept any loan in cash. Also, if at all loan has been accepted or repaid in cash, department may ask the source of the lender who extends the loan in cash. So thereby the lender may also be in a trouble if he has not declared such cash in his return of income.
