what you mean by "I have not seen any cash". It has been provided that investments were disposed of at market price. ie Rs 2.8 lakhs will come from the sale of investment. Rest needs to be taken out of from whatever cash you already had.
Cash/Bank Dr Rs 2.8 lakhs
To Investments Rs 2.8 lakhs (Being investments sold)
