any amount received over and above 2 lac in single transaction is subject to 100% tax payment of the amount
Accordingly this amount shall be taxable
I borrowed an amount of 5 lakh each from my 2 relatives in cash and deposited it in my SB account. Out of 10 lakh 5 lakh used to buy a home and rest kept in SB account. Now, the bought house was sold within 1 year at no profit no loss basis and proceeds of the sale used to close housing loan. Will I have to pay income tax on 10 lakh that i had l borrowed in cash? If yes then how to avoid this?

Hi sir
To find the taxability of Rs 10 lakhs I need to see the relation between u & ur relative because As per the Income tax act, the sum of money received from any of your relatives are fully exempt from tax.
Relatives will be as per Section 56(2)(VII) of the Income Tax Act,1961.
so let me know the relation so that I can guide u better

There is a 100% penalty on accepting or repaying loan in case above ₹20000.
Therefore if you are going to show it as loan you will have to pay 100% penalty on same.
Hope you find the information helpful if you do please rate it 5 and provide your valuable feedback for my improvement.
Thank you

Hi
You cannot show it as a loan as provisions of section 169SS will hit.
Show it as a gift received. If it is a gift from relatives, it would be exempt income and no taxes shall have to be paid.
Hello,
Any person who receives a sum of Rs 2 Lakh and above is liable for a penalty equal to the amount of such receipt.
I hope that this answer satisfies your requirements.

Dear Sir,
Hope you are doing well !!
Gifts from family members are not taxable u/s 56 of income tax act.
It is advisable to show the same as gift from father. There will be no tax liability on you for receiving money from father as the same will be treated as gift money.
