These expenses will be disallowed.
The section reads as under:
Where the assessee incurs any expenditure in respect of which a payment or aggregate of payments made to a person in a day,...........
The word "any expenditure" covers all types of expenditures.
The purpose of this section is to avoid heavy cash payments in normal circumstances so that connected persons are taken into tax-net. In this way; they will be identified.
