Dear Members,
In one of my case, AO has argued that Section 269SS or section 269T has not defined anywhere that NEFT or RTGS has the same equivalency as account payee  cheque or accounbt payee Demand Draft.
If you have any judgment or clarification or instruction on that, please provide me the same so that I can produce before him.

Dear Mr Gupta,
I don't have any such case law right now on this particular point. But I know some of our professional colleagues who have got the assessment done in their favor on this point before the commissioner and joint commissioner. There is a very strong reason in this to justify that there is no violation of Sec 269SS and 269T where the payment is made through NEFT or RTGS. Please try to convince the AO  telling him that there is no such violation rather it is more evident that the payment or receipt is not made in cash. I think the assessment will be in your favor.

Ammendement in the Budget 2014

Mode of Acceptance or Repayment of Loans and Deposits [Section 269SS & 269T]

Sections 269SS and 269T are amended to allow acceptance/ repayment of loan and/ or deposit by use of electronic clearing system through a bank account in addition to account payee cheque or account payee bank draft. The monetary limit of Rs. 20,000, however, remains same.

These amendments will take effect from assessment year 2015-16.

this problem has been solved by amendment in current finance Act,14 by providing for all these situations.
A number of times H.C./S.C. have held that when something is clarifactory it is effective from the date of enactment of the section.
Hence this principle shall help.

I fully agree.NEFT or RTGS are recent developments in Banking and provide adequate evidence to support the arguement that payment has been made through banking channels.
Hence a persuasive arguement explaining the concept of NEFT/RTGS should in my view convince a Bench which is prepared to listen.

ECS, RTGS and NEFT etc. are now proposed to be allowed as permissible mode to accept or repay the deposit or loan specified under section 269SS and 269T respectively. The existing provisions contained in section 269SS of the Act, inter alia, provide that no person shall take from any other person any loan or deposit otherwise than by an account payee cheque or account payee bank draft, if the amount of such loan or deposit or aggregate of such loans or deposits is twenty thousand rupees or more. Similarly, the existing provisions of section 269T of the Act, inter alia, provide that no loan or deposit shall be repaid otherwise than by an account payee cheque or account payee bank draft, if the amount of such loan or deposit together with interest or the aggregate amount of such loans or deposits together with interest, if any payable thereon, is twenty thousand rupees or more. In the present times many banking transactions take place by way of internet banking facilities or by use of payment gateways. Accordingly, it is proposed to amend the provisions of the said sections 269SS and 269T so as to provide that any acceptance or repayment of any loan or deposit by use of electronic clearing system through a bank account shall not be prohibited under the said sections if the other conditions regarding the quantum etc. are satisfied. These amendments will take effect from 1st April, 2015 and will, accordingly, -

Dear Ashok, while making a payment through RTGS or NEFT we have to issue an account payee cheque favouring our bank a/c payees name. That cheque accompanies one requisition signed by us asking bank to deposit the amount electronically into the account of payee. It is implied that cheque issued by us ( account payee ofcourse) favouring bank to be subsequently deposited into payees bank account shall have to be treated as account payee cheque irrespective of the fact whether RTGS or NEFT is mentioned in the statue book.
