The penalty on cash received on sale of property in India is as follows:
- Under Income Tax Act, a penalty equal to the amount of cash received is applicable.
- This penalty is levied on the buyer, seller, or both, depending on the circumstances.
- The penalty is in addition to the tax liability on the capital gains arising from the sale of property.
- The penalty can be waived or reduced if the taxpayer can provide a valid explanation for accepting cash and cooperates with the tax authorities.
It's important to note that accepting cash is a strict liability offense, meaning that the penalty will be levied even if there is no intentional evasion of tax. To avoid penalties, it's essential to ensure compliance with tax laws and regulations when selling or buying property in India.
