No the problem is not with the sale exceeding Rs.20000/- in cash rather it is for Purchase or Revenue expenditure.

There is no limit for cash sales. However it is advisable to keep the information of customers to whom cash memo exceeding Rs.50,000 is raised.

That limit is extended only for goods carriage and to Rs 35,000/- rest it is Rs 20,000/- only..

Cash sales is not a matter of serious concern under income tax act 1961, although proper invoicing are required to record such cash sales in books.

Section 40 A( 3) of income tax Act 1961 deals with only cash payment against expenditure exceeding Rs. 20,000/- or 30,000/- as the case may be.

sir

In continuation of above please suggets, can we do cash sales, simply write cash sales on bill under gst if bill amount is rs 40000 to rs 45000 or we have to give name of the purchasers.
