otherwise than by an account payee cheque or an account payee bank draft or use of electronic clearing system through a bank account:

 in contravention of the provisions. he shall be liable to pay, by way of penalty, a sum equal to the amount of such receipt

For Borrower: Section 269T:

Dear sir, I'm aware of the provisions first of all its not a borrower but a debtor in the ordinary course of business and it is fora series of transactions.
Penalty will be attracted.

Can I pay him Rs. 1,75,00 in cash ?
