Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies that while the Income Tax Act doesn't explicitly limit the amount of cash you can hold, there are significant implications for business deductions. Payments exceeding £10,000 in cash to any single person in a day are generally not allowed as a business expense. The conversation also touches upon the possibility of a large cash-on-hand balance appearing fictitious, suggesting scrutiny might be applied in such cases.

As per income tax act no such kind of limit for holding cash.
In order to disincentivise cash transactions, it is proposed to amend the provisions of Section 40A of the Income Tax Act to provide the following: ... 10,000 in a single day i.e. any payment in cash above Rs. 10,000 to any person in a day shall not be allowed as deduction in computation of Income.

THE ORIGINAL QUERY GOT CHANGED...........

Cash in hand balance cannot be so much.
It's fictitious.
