I am purchasing a flat and the builder has asked for certain payment in cash. for said purpose I have transferred 2 lakhs each in my relatives account. Will those transactions attract any income tax provisions?

You may give cash directly to the builder without depositing in relatives accounts

Pls ensure the title of the property.
It is advisable to pay money from the owners savings account/ current account
When you deposit money to relatives account if it's a blood relation there are other complications.
