07 August 2009 Since the expenditure is of a capital nature, the proportinate Depreciation on it calculated as per the provisions of Section 32 of the Income Tax Act, will be dis-allowed.

07 August 2009 The penal consequences are:
1. You will be treated as assesse in default and tax will be recovered from you.
2. You will be liable for Interest
3. You will be liable for penalty @ 100% of the tax amount.

However, you can establish that the deductee has included the income in his return of income and has paid advance tax as applicable, you will be absolved from all consequences. The ratio being, the revenue is not in any way prejudiced in any way in such a scenerio.

The question of disallowance does not arise at all. The amount is not claimed as expenditure, hence can not be dis allowed.

With due respect to Deepali's view, I beg to differ. Disallowance is applicablle in case of expenditure claimed. Depreciation is an allowance, not an expenditure.
