I think there is no way to avoid penalty u/s 269SS if you take or accept specified sum in cash. Law is very strict and straight in these cases.

This is a very unfortunate scenario, the seller is doing legitimate business but the buyer is probably using his unaccounted black money to buy the property, therefore he refuses to perform a bank transaction since it would put the spotlight on this black money.

The government should take action to curb the real estate black market somehow...

I'm also curious. Have you managed to do this? I know it's essential to ensure that any financial transaction is done legally to avoid penalties. In this case, accepting a cash payment for the post-registry amount is not advisable. The penalty under 269SS is imposed for taking cash above Rs. 20,000 from a single person in a single day. It's best to use a proper payment method such as bank transfer, cheque, or demand draft to avoid legal issues.

I'm not sure, but I think you can pay in the way you wanted at some organizations like cashhousebuyersusa.com . Though it is better to check it
