17 December 2009 Dear Experts

If an individual assessee who does not have Tax audit, (Assume (1) he is a salaried employee, OR (2) He is a Business man who does not have turnover more than 40 Lacs) accepts unsecured loan of Rs.1,00,000 from his relative in CASH, then can section 271 D is applicable.

Or Section 271 D is applicable to only those assessee who has tax audit.

Please clear my doubt.

Applicable in both the cases described by you. 271D is applicable to every assessee whether or not covered by tax audit.

You must treat the amount as Gift, in case you have received from a relative.

You may make RETURN GIFT in future.
