(2) Arjun gave 10000 rupees loan by cheque to Praveen during last year and in current year he gave another 10000 in cash ….This section will be applicable as the total amount equals to 20000. Here it’s not matter that the loan taken earlier is by cheque. But the penalties are imposed on the amount accepted in cash only.
(3) Ameer gave a loan of 15000 by cheque to biswas during last year and gave another 5500 in cash in current year …then also this section would be applicable.
