While a buyer is allowed to purchase only for 10,000 in cash per day from a person, how come allowing a seller to collect up to 1,99,999 from a buyer in a single day become possible? Just curious to know your thoughts.

Thanks Pratik 😊. Just misunderstood 40A(3), wherein the 10,000 limit per day is applicable only for business expenditure and not for purchase of salable goods. Hope, this would clarify others too.
