25 November 2010 sir
here i am confused.
there is one case one of my client he is dealing with one contractor.and he is paying him Rs 500000 in a year by cash payment during whole year and he is not paying him above 20000 in a day.

so i am asking that is there any specific limit for cash expense in a year.


25 November 2010 Then no problem

30 November 2010 Yes it will be allowed

In your case there is no problem.


Expenses dissallowed when payment made to a person " in a day" otherwise than the account payee cheque exceeds Rs. 20000.00.

04 December 2010 sir in case of scrutiny the department can argue or can say that how can u say this is a legal expense and not a fodge expense?

how we can clarify them it is a right expense?
