Sec 40A(3)

This query is : Resolved 

28 January 2008 If A sells goods worth Rs. 1,00,000 to B and B sells the same to C at Rs. 1,30,000,
In the books of B, if it passes the ajdustment entry of,

C a/c Dr. 1,30,000
To A A/c 1,00,000
To Cash 30,000

My query:
1. will this adjustment entry be covered by S/40A(3). Does this mean deemed cash payment of more then Rs. 20,000.

Whether passing of such contra entry attracts provisions of section 40A(3) if not please if possible provide some case laws

28 January 2008 no. it can not be deemed unless u actaully pay more then 20K.
Even u can pay 100000 by a/c payee cheque and balance by cash and make a single entry for the same.

28 January 2008 it is contra entry and you will jv in your book u/s 40a(3) i payments are in excessof rs 20000/-at one time is diallowed in your case cotra entry should be made and you are not pay in cash to A so sec 40A(3) is not applicable


28 January 2008 The following sub-section (3) shall be substituted for the existing sub-section (3) of section 40A by the Finance Act, 2007, w.e.f. 1-4-2008 :

(3)(a) Where the assessee incurs any expenditure in respect of which payment is made in a sum exceeding twenty thousand rupees otherwise than by an account payee cheque drawn on a bank or account payee bank draft, no deduction shall be allowed in respect of such expenditure

NOTE THAT THE WORDS USED ARE OTHERWISE THAN ACCOUNT PAYEE CHEQUE AND NOT THE WORDS CASH PAID...........ANY PAYMENT MADE BY CONTRA ENTRY IS PAYMENT OTHERWISE THAN ACCOUNT PAYEE CHEQUE

29 January 2008 Dear Mr. Jain,
Read the above once more and be clear abt that.
First of all: EXPENDITURE INCURRED
then: PAYMENT is made
then: ABOVE 20000
then: not an a/c payee CHEQUE

here main thing is payment made for an expenditure by a mode of payment which is not by a a/c payee cheque mode.

20 March 2008 as the payment is not >20000, 40A(3) does not come into picture

06 May 2008 can I get some opinion

31 March 2012 As per Section 40A(3) expenditure incurred in excess of Rs. 20,000/-, payment for which is made otherwise than by an account payeee cheque are disallowed.

Rule 6DD of the Income Tax Rules provides circumstances in which payments exceeding Rs. 20,000/- are NOT disallowed.

Sub-ruled (d) provides that where the payment is made by way of adjustment, the amount will not be disallowed.

So, in the above case, the amount of Rs. 1 lakh shall NOT be disallowed.

However, you have made a cash payment of Rs. 30,000/-. This amount shall be disallowed.
