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. As a result, the application of the cash-acceptance provision to the transaction was authority of law, and the consequential penalty for such cash acceptance could not survive; the penalty and appellate orders were quashed.
