Sir, I want to know whether payment made to State Electricity Board in cash exceeding Rs.20,000/- will attract disallowance u/s 40A(3)?
Rule 6DD exempts pyt to Government "where the payment is made to the Government and, under the rules framed by it, such payment is required to be made in legal tender; Whether payt made to a Board controlled by State Govt. is covered by the above provision?

Payment to State Electricty Board in excess of Rs.20000/- is not attracting sec 40A(3. But now a days almost in all states, SEBs have been converted in to Companies e.g.In Rajasthan it is Jaipur Vidyot Vitran Nigam Ltd, Jodhpur Vidyut Vitran Nigam Ltd., Ajmer Vidyut Vitran Nigam Ltd etc. in such cases payment exceeding Rs.20000/- will be disallowed as all these are companies might be Govt owned but still all these are companies. Hence please check the status in your state.
