From the factgs as furnished in your query, it is deduced that the cash payment, purportedly proposed to be made by your spouse is only in consideration of her share in the property that you propose to acquire. In such ciracumstasnmces, the payment cannot be regarded either as a loan or depositr witrhin the meaning of section 269SS of the Act.

Further, it is seen that the acquisition of the plot iis not in the process of any business operations, such as real estate. If that is so, even the other provisions of section 430A(3) (which provides for disallowance of anay business expenditure where cash payment is made in excess of 20,000) In this view of the matter, it can be safely concluded that there is no application of the provisions of section 269SS of the IT Act.
