As per the provision of section 269SS of the Income Tax Act, 1961 no person shall take loan or accept deposit in excess of Rs. 20000 other than by A/c payee cheque or A/c payee draft. Now my question is, suppose someone deposits in my bank a/c an amount of Rs. 21000 will the section apply in this case? will this section still apply when amount is deposited in the account through electronic transfer?
