Making purchase of more than 1 lac

Any cash payment or aggregate of cash payments during a day exceeds Rs 20,000/- will attract dis allowance of the expenditure u/s 40A (3) and (3A) of the Income Tax Act. Accordingly, the purchases made by you in cash will be disallowed and added to your business income.

As you are doing business, you need to have PAN, as you will not be able to make transactions above Rs 50K through your bank account. Secondly if there is taxable income, you need to file your IT return. Finally if there is no business loss, you can carry forward your loss for set off against your future income, provided you file your IT return within the due date.Further, wherever TDS is attracted, Tax will be deducted at maximum rate or 20%, whichever is higher and you may not be able to claim credit for TDS, It is therefore advisable for you to have PAN.

There is no problem, as long as the transaction is genuine.

Section 40A(3)(a) of the Income-tax Act, 1961 provides that any expenditure incurred in respect of which payment is made in a sum exceeding Rs.20,000/- otherwise than by an account payee cheque drawn on a bank or by an account payee bank draft, shall not be allowed as a deduction

In your case since you are not claiming any deduction there is no reason why you cannot pay in cash.

You can do the same since it was not for business purpose.

If the seller asks then yes you need to show PAN
