As per the second proviso of Sec 40A(3) in the case of payment made for plying, hiring or leasing goods carriages, the amount of Rs. 20000 is substituted by Rs 35000.
So if in your case, if the payment of Octroi duty is related to plying, hiring or leasing goods carriages, then the amount of limit is increased to Rs.35000
