1. Limit of 3 Lakh: This move of curbing transition in the form of cash will surely help limit the transition being done across India. Especially while purchasing a vehicle, house, jewellery etc where people often do transaction in the form of cash. This move is expected to give another push to digital transactions and help the central government in its fight against corruption.

In The budget speech Arun Jaitley on Wednesday, Jaitley said the move was based on a proposal made by a Special Investigation Team (SIT) on black money, which was set up by the government of Inia for black money. The SIT had recommended this, no transaction above Rs 3 lakh should be permitted in cash. The BJP government has decided to accept this proposal,” the finance minister Jaitley said Parliament.
