Finance Minister Arun Jaitley had in his Budget for 2017-18 proposed to insert Section 269ST in the Income-Tax Act to state that "no person shall receive an amount of Rs 3 lakh or more by way of cash in aggregate from a person in a day; in respect of a single transaction; or in respect of transactions relating to one event or occasion from a person".
The restrictions will not apply to the central government, banking institutions, post office savings, or co-operative bank.
The 3 lakh ceiling on cash transactions from April 1, 2017, proposed in the Union Budget 2017-18, has been revised to 2 lakh, with the government introducing an amendment to this effect in the Finance Bill cleared by the Lok Sabha on Tuesday, 21st March, 2017..
