The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has announced new cash withdrawal rules. These rules have been made specifically to reduce the use of cash and promote digital payments. At the same time, Section 194N of the Income Tax Act was introduced in the 2019 budget. This section provides for tax on those people or entities who pay an amount exceeding Rs 20 lakh in cash to another person.

However, this rule applies only to those who have not filed an Income Tax Return (ITR) for 3 years. ITR is a financial document, which contains details of income and expenditure of a person or organization. They will have to pay a Tax Deducted at Source (TDS) charge for this. Whereas, TDS is an indirect tax, which is deducted from the amount paid by one person or institution to another person or institution. This section is to reduce cash transactions and promote digital payments.
