This isn't MVC specific. The HTML form will only post values contained within form elements inside the form. Your example is neither inside the form or in a form element (such as hidden inputs). You have to do this since MVC doesn't rely on View State. Put hidden fields inside the form:

@Html.HiddenFor(x => x.Transaction.Time)
// etc...

Ask yourself though.. if the user isn't updating these values.. does your action method require them?
