Dear Madhu Ji, I said receipt should be less than Rs. 200000, even you can not receive exactly Twe lakhs rupees. (Refer Section 269ST of Income Tax Act, 1961)
On the other hand, I mentioned Business expenditure should not be more than Rs. 10000 in a day from a single party. So you cannot purchase goods for more than Rs. 10000 in cash in a single day. (Refer Section 40A(3) of the Income Tax Act.
In the first case, the Income Tax Act imposes a penalty on the receiver, not on the person paying Rs. 200000 or more in cash. It means if you received cash Rs. 200000 or more, you will be liable to a penalty, not the payer.
In the second case, there is no penalty if you purchase goods worth more than Rs. 10000 in cash in a single day from a single party, but the Income Tax Act will not allow that expenditure as business expenditure.
