As per SECTION 269ST of the Income Tax Act 1961, the limit of ₹ 1,99,999 is per day not per year.
Yes, an individual can pay ₹ 1,99,999 cash to a trader in a single day, but the person will not be allowed to claim deduction of the same in the Profit and Loss Account i.e. the amount cannot be debited as payment exceeds ₹10,000 in Cash.
As per the provision of SECTION 40A(3) of the Income Tax Act of 1961, a person cannot make payment in CASH exceeding ₹10,000 per day ( ₹35000 per day for Transportation business).
Hence, it is advisable not to make payment in CASH exceeding ₹ 10,000 in CASH.
