14 September 2013 No, it is not applicable on Purchase of fixed assets or any other depreciable assets.

Section 40A(3) : expenditure ( other than capital assets) incurred in excess of 20000 not by an A/c payee cheque or bank draft in respect of which a payment/ aggregate of payment made to a person in a day shall not be allowed to be reduced as expense while calculating PGBP income.

No Dis-allowance can be made in respect of Depreciation...
