First answer received in 10 minutes.
Lawyers are available now to answer your questions.
Firstly, when you yourself is a registered money lender in the state approved by the state act, then where is the question of not compliance of the provisions of the act.
Secondly, you please do as per the act otherwise would be in trouble and your licence would also get cancelled.
Thirdly, as provision is quite clear which states as to not o lend more than 20K in cash.
You can not give a loan amount above 20k if your license does not permit for the same.
In any view of the matter the 138 case will be well maintanable in the court .
Regards

2. The same answer as above suits this also
3. What is recovery of loan doing with section 138 of NI act, this provision is designed for trying the accused for bouncing the cheque.
4. For exorbitant interest other than what is permissible and other illegal activities.
Dear Client,
Sec 138 attack in cheque bounce cases, not in cash dealing.
No specific provision in money lending act if lending in cash or through cheque, just maintain cash book.
4. Under Which Circumstances Registrar under Bombay Money Lenders Act can take a legal action or Suryev or Raid against Registered Money Lender by complain by Borrower? --- No survey raid,
1. Since dealing in Cash of over Rs. 20,000/- is not permissible under the Income Tax laws, any such money shall remain illegal and will not come under the parameters of "legally enforceable liability" under the N.I.Act, and the opposite accused party will be able to get away with this.
2. The Registrar of Coop., CANNOT conduct raids, on complaints by borrowers, BUT will issue Show Cause notice, which you will have to duly comply, by producing Books of Accounts and other documents, which will prove to be time-consuming and a nuisance for business.

Under 269SS of income tax Act it is prohibited to advance or accept more than 20000 in cash. So the said transaction becomes illegal. Secondly it is also illegal to repay more than 20000 in cash and without account payee cheque vide section 269 T.
