our's is construction co. , we have many contractors working for us and on some of the sites the contractors are common. as per the company policy ,payments are given to contractors in cash on 7th of every month at each site separately. my question is there are cases in which similar contractor is receiving payment in cash at different sites for respective work done on that site . will it will attract dis-allowance u/s 40A (3)? what is the remedy for it?
As per my view, if the payment made to contractor against different bills/invoices which are less than Rs.20K, then section 40(A)(3) will not attract but if payment has made for single work, no matter if payment made at different sites, but if it exceeds Rs.20K, then section 40(A)(3) will attract. Remedy is you can make payment on different dates below Rs.20K
