Cash Transaction Limit us 269ST reduced to Rs 2 lakhs. As per Revenue Secretary tweet, Govt in official amendment to Finance Bill has proposed so.

Finance Bill 2017 had proposed a check on domestic black money by inserting a new section 269ST in the Income Tax Act, 1961 to provide that no person shall receive an amount of three lakh rupees or more,—

(a) in aggregate from a person in a day;

(b) in respect of a single transaction; or

(c) in respect of transactions relating to one event or occasion from a person,
otherwise than by an banking channel/electronic clearing system. Simultaneously, a new section 271DA was proposed providing for the penalty equivalent to the amount received otherwise.
