Its better you ask the question at one place. You'll get all the answers by the clubmates at one place. If you post 3-4 threads of the same query, no one will be interested to answer your query.

MR. Amol,
Give him the answer, i thought he did not check his last forum and answer for the same. You are professional and you have good knowledge of section 269ss.

I am a professional and also have a good knowledge of 269SS. I have replied him in his thread under income-tax. I dont have any personal problem with this person. Its just that rather than posting repetitive topics on the same day you just check up with one thread only. This is just for efficient use of the CA Club.

Ok Mr. Amol, i thought that he is not aware of the same. Lets leave, i can provide him the definition of section 269ss, may be he will understand....
Section 269SS: Section 269SS provides that any loan or deposit shall not be taken or accepted from any other person otherwise than by an account payee cheque or account payee bank draft if,
(a) the amount of such loan or deposit or the aggregate amount of such loan and deposit ; or
(b) on the date of taking or accepting such loan or deposit, any loan or deposit taken or accepted earlier by such person from the depositor is remaining unpaid and the amount or the aggregate amount remaining unpaid ; or
(c) the amount or the aggregate amount referred to in clause (a) together with the amount or the aggregate amount referred to in clause (b), is twenty thousand rupees or more :
Thus it is clear that no person can accept any loan or deposit of Rs 20000 or more otherwise than by way of an account payee cheque or an account payee draft. The limit of Rs 20000 will also apply to a case even if on the date of taking or accepting such loan or deposit, any loan or deposit taken or accepted earlier by such person from such depositor is remaining unpaid and such unpaid amount along with the loan or deposit to be accepted, exceeds the aforesaid limit.
This can be explained with an example: If Mr X has a credit balance of a loan of Rs 19000 from Mr Y. Now in this case Mr X cannot take loan in excess of Rs 999 more from Mr Y except with an account payee cheque or account payee bank Draft.
Exemptions from section 269SS: The Following persons are exempted from the purview of section 269SS:
a) Government ;
(b) any banking company, post office savings bank or co-operative bank ;
(c) any corporation established by a Central, State or Provincial Act ;
(d) any Government company as defined in section 617 of the Companies Act, 1956
(e) other notified insititutions
(f) where the depositor and the acceptor are both having agricultural income and neither of them have any taxable income.
Consequences of contravention of section 269SS:
Section 271D of Income Tax Act 1961 provides that if a loan or deposit is accepted in contravention of the provisions of section 269SS then a penalty equivalent to the amount of such loan or deposit may be levied by the Joint commissioner.
Section 269T : Section 269T of Income Tax Act provides that any branch of a banking company or a cooperative society, firm or other person shall not repay any loan or deposit
otherwise than by an account payee cheque or account payee bank draft drawn in the name of the person, who has made the loan or deposit, if
(1) The amount of the loan or deposit together with interest is Rs 20000 or more, or
(2) The aggregate amount of loans or deposits held by such person, either in his own name or jointly with other person on the date of such repayment together with interest, is Rs 20000 or more.
For example if X is having loan of Rs 30000 outstanding to Y. Then X cannot repay such loan in cash to Y.
