Rs. 500000 cash purchases in a single bill/invoice is disallowed under section 40A(3). So no of cash bill purchases not more than Rs.20000 per each per day would be allowable. So if possible take "not more than Rs.20000 bills" from the trader(seller) then no problem. Otherwise take on single bill and issue account payee cheque or DD at the time of purchase or later.
