Section 269ST is considered as one of the important section which was introduced by our respected Government with the intension of restricting the Cash Transactions to curb Black Money and Tax Theft in the industry. Though this section is looking very small and simple in front end but has various different small angles which people faced in their practical life at the time of implementing this section in real life. Hence today I am coving this section through my article alongwith various practical examples for better understanding of the readers.

Section 269ST is not applicable on Cash withdrawal from Bank. Refer relevant notification by CBDT
Respected Sir,
A automobile dealer sold 4 cars each of Rs.5 lakh in account of single customer in single days OR multiple days in a year and received Rs.1,99,000.00 cash for each vehicle in multiple date then penalty status under 269ST would be…
I think withdrawals from banks are not covered.
I have doubt
if the patient admitted twice in a year patient paid by cash 4lakhs is it okay.
I had transferred an amount of two lakhs to my wife’s account which was my retirement benefits. Now I got a message that the above will not be accepted by MSEDCL. Please let me know what does it mean.
it shall apply to induction of capital and drawings ?
a person draw 20000 per month by cash , penalty will attract ?
I Have a query as ……
A automobile dealer sold 4 cars each of Rs.5 lakh in account of single customer in single days OR multiple days in a year and received Rs.1,99,000.00 cash for each vehicle in multiple date then penalty status under 269ST would be…..
Cash withdrawn from bank is excluded . CBDT issued a circular in this regard. Please correct this article.
if you have bought a property above 700000, and paid 500000 in cash…how can You avoid any taxation?
Sir, is this provision applicable to a NBFC when it repays its loan amount or deposit accepted from public ?
Going by an income tax department circular issued 04.07.17, it appears that you can repay your entire loan amount to any HFC (Housing finance company) or NBFC (Non-banking finance company) in cash provided each instalment is less than Rs 2 lakh. As per the new income tax rule introduced in the last budget, cash payments/receipts of or over Rs 2 lakh are illegal and will attract penalty.
This rule had created confusion as to whether the rule applied to single instalment repayment of loan or to the entire repayment amount. The finance ministry issued a circular dated July 3, 2017, clarifying that the prohibition of cash payment would only apply to repayment of a single loan instalment in cash and not to the aggregate amount.
Section 269ST was introduced in the last budget to discourage the use of large amounts of cash as a step towards controlling generation of blac ..
