24 July 2008 As long as you do not receive cash but able to substantiate you did not then there is no problem.

24 July 2008 In case bills are in your name, it suugests that you have purchased the items billed on you. As such, the cash payment made by the donor may be held as a cash gift to u. It can not be argued that the gift is otherwise than as cash. Even, the cash receipt will be issued in your name as a discharge of liability due against the said bill. Under the circumstances, the flow of transactions will itself suggest that u have received cash and paid the bills.
