In case of a pvt ltd company can we pay a cash salary of 16,000 INR per month to an employee instead of trasnferring directly to his bank account ?
Employee has got valid PAN card though and file his ITR every year.

Employee can be paid his salary in cash of any amount.
However, proper deduction of Tax i.e TDS should be ensured otherwise the liability is going to be on the employer.
Secondly, proper receiving should also be ensured.

There is no such restriction. Have proper vouchers with revenue stamps and authorised signatures. But it is much better to pay through bank as proper trail is available.

there is nothing to worry about so long the company does not pay to a person(employee or otherwise) in a day an amount or aggregate of amounts exceeding Rs. 20000... it holds good for both private and public companies...however , deduction of tds and maintainance of proper voucher by the company is must.

Hi Friends,
I've a scenario here. my friend received the salary in cash from April 2012 - Aug 2013 [ April 2012 - May 2013 is below 20,000. But June and July it is 23,000] and he has relieved from the company by July 2013. Will it be accepted? or Will there be any problem? If so what will be the problem? (for the employee or employer). Now he has got a form - 16 (not e-filed; manual entry since it comes NIL return ) for the same.
Kindly help
