Cash transaction limit to allow in Agricultural land buy at a time of Registry

I have planned to buy Agricultural land from seller and Registry or consideration amount will be 10,00,000.

so i want to give 6 lakhs by Demand Draft and 4 lakhs by cash.  is cash trasaction shown over 2 lakh possible at time of  registry ?

How can i show cash amount over 2 lakhs in this deal ? can i show two transactions of Rs 2 lakhs each in single month or should i show in different months ?

Quick Summary
This discussion explores the legality of using cash for agricultural land purchases, specifically concerning the £2 lakh limit per transaction. The consensus suggests that a single transaction exceeding £2 lakhs cannot be paid in cash, even if split into smaller amounts or paid over different months. The law, as referenced, prohibits receiving £2 lakhs or more in cash for a single transaction or event, requiring payments via cheque, demand draft, or electronic means.

In either case you cannot pay R.s. 2 lakhs or more by lump sum or in installment as the whole deal is single event.
