Limit on cash purchase

While a buyer is allowed to purchase only for 10,000 in cash per day from a person, how come allowing a seller to collect up to 1,99,999 from a buyer in a single day become possible? Just curious to know your thoughts.

CASH PURCHASE IS ALLOWED UPTO RS 200000 AS PER IT ACT 

No , cash purchase 10000 is applicable

 

PLZ READ THIS 

Section 269ST of Income Tax Act

Section 269ST of Income Tax Act provides that no person can receive an amount of INR 2 Lakhs or more in cash:

  • In aggregate from a person in a day;
  • In respect of a single transaction; or
  • In respect of transactions relating to one event or occasion from a person.

Provisions of Section 269ST are not applicable, when cash of more than Rs.2 lakhs is received from following person:

  • Government;
  • Any banking company, post office saving bank or co-operative bank;
  • Institution, association or body or class of institutions, associations or bodies notified by Central Government in its official gazette.
Thanks Pratik 😊. Just misunderstood 40A(3), wherein the 10,000 limit per day is applicable only for business expenditure and not for purchase of salable goods. Hope, this would clarify others too.
