Cash rules under Income tax : How much cash can you receive in one day to avoid an I-T notice?

Income tax Cash rules: The income tax department carefully monitors high-value cash transactions, so taxpayers should exercise caution when engaging in them. Section 269ST of the Income Tax Act prohibits receiving cash payments of 2 lakh or more in a single day for a single transaction or related transactions on a single occasion. If this limit is crossed, there may be fines or legal action.

Taxpayers should be aware that the Income Tax Department monitors high-value cash transactions exceeding certain limits, and can trigger notices from tax authorities.

This restriction applies to individuals and entities alike, with the responsibility to comply resting on the recipient of the cash rather than the payer.
