Section 269ST, any person who enters into a transaction of Rs 2 Lakh or above in cash, will be liable to a penalty of an amount equivalent to the amount of transaction.
It is not applicable if a person receives the amount through an Account Payee Cheque or an Account Payee Bank Draft or through use of electronic clearing system through a bank account like :- UPI, E-Wallet etc.
hence a husband gives gift to his wife rs.200000 or more, than it is liable for penalty, whether gift is exempt in hands of wife.
