The substituted definition of "specified sum" in the Explanation to the cash-receipt provision, introduced by the Finance Act, 2023 with effect from 01.04.2023, could not be applied to assessment year 2013-14. The Tribunal held that the Assessing Officer's reliance on that amended definition for cash advances received in a residential project was legally impermissible.
