Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies Section 269ST of the Income Tax Act concerning cash payments. It explains that no person can receive cash of ₹2 lakh or more in a single day, a single transaction, or for one event. While you can accept less than ₹2 lakh per invoice on different days or via cheque, all three conditions must be considered to ensure compliance.

Yes u can receive but below 200000 .
Section 269ST prohibits any person to receive an amount of Rs.2 lakh and above in cash:

(i) In aggregate from a person in a day, or
(ii) In a single transaction, or
(iii) In respect of transactions relating to one event or occasion from a person.

You can take less than 2,00,000( not 2,00,000) per bill on different days and remaining in cheque if both bill given to single parties

If Both bill give to different parties, than you can receive less than 2,00,000 per bill on same day.

Ultimately, you have to consider all three conditions
