Quick Summary

Repaying loans or making business expenditures in cash above certain limits can lead to penalties or disallowances. For business expenses over £10,000 paid in cash, the amount may be disallowed and added to your taxable income. If you repay a loan of £20,000 or more in cash, a penalty equal to the repayment amount could be imposed under Section 271E, payable within a specified period, usually 30 days.

There could be 3 situation.
1. You have paid in cash more than specified limit for business expenditure incurred during Current year.
Ans. As per Sec 40A(3), payment above Rs. 10000 in cash will be disallowed and the amount disallowed will be added to your Total Income and you have to pay tax accordingly.

2. You have paid in cash more than specified limit for a business expenditure which was incurred in last year, but payment for which is made in current year.
Ans. As per sec. 40A(3A) payment above Rs. 10000 in cash will be disallowed and the amount disallowed will be added to your Total Income of current year and you have to pay tax accordingly.

3. You have repaid the loan in cash above specified limit.
Ans. In this case Sec 269T says loan repayment of Rs. 20000 or more should not be made in cash and in case you have repaid any loan amount of Rs. 20000 or more in cash, the Joint commissioner will impose the penalty under section 271E equals to the amount repaid and you have to deposit penalty amount with in the period specified in penalty order, which is normally 30 days.

Yes... I agreed with Mr Ramakrishnan and Mr Karan Singh views...

@ Mr Abhishek Selvam O.,

Yes... penalty imposed as per above said replies by experts...

In other view if You are filing Your ITR with sec 44AA then avoid the cash payment as per You. Otherwise penalty imposed as per Experts view...

In case You will opt sec 44ad (if applicable) and file Your ITR then no problem for the cash payment...

There will be no specific penalty which have to be paid for the payment of Rs. 25000 made in cash.

While filing your IT return, you have to disallow Rs. 25000 u/s 40A(3) and then file your IT return with the required tax payment.

There is a penalty provision u/s 271E If you repay loan of 20000 or more in cash.
An equal amount of loan repaid will be imposed as penalty
