Mumbai-based Vishal Gupta, who lost his father to Covid-19 in May last year, faces a new challenge. Gupta's family paid over Rs 9 lakh for the treatment of his father, out of which a majority amount was raised from friends and relatives. A part of the financial help they received was in the form of cash.  
A social worker who helped the family hospitalise the patient last year recently apprised them of tax provisions that prohibit cash transactions among individuals as loan over a certain limit. Now the family of three brothers, employed in unorganised sector, fears being harassed by tax authorities.
