Dear Professional experts, please clear my query relating to sec 40A(3)of I.T Act:
An assessee who purchase goods on credit worth Rs 1,20,000/- & make the payment of the same in cash on diff. dates below Rs 20,000/-. Does it is hit by the provision of sec 40A(3)?
19 March 2012
As per My understanding 40A(3)will not attracts in your case, because when the payment made during the day exceeds Rs 20000 then only it attracts.
Dear Chackrapani Sir Please Clarify if i am wrong with any Case law or notification if available.

100% this transaction will attracts sec. 40A(3). Because, earlier 40A(3) will attracts individual payment only. But, now it will attracts the transaction rather than payments. If, pays Rs. 20,000/- in 5 installments for same invoice, it will treated as single transaction and will disallowed under section 40A(3).

Sorry to say Mr. CA Prashant Gupta. Kindy read the latest updates and amendments rather than thinking what you read in your student life.
It is very dangerousness after qualifying CA, you are giving wrong answer to someone. Sec. 40A(3) is an very important section of IT Act, 1965 and every CA using this section while assessing the income. But, you are not updated.

sir As per section 40A(3) with effect from asst.year 2009-10, where the assesses incurs any expenditure in respect of which a payment or aggregate of payments made to a person IN A DAY EXCEEDS RS. 20000/- no deduction shall be allowed in respect of such expenditure.
it is cleared from the above, in your case 40A(3) does not attract, since you are making payments below Rs 20000/- in DIFFERENT DATES. and it is also cleared in Notification no SO 2431(E) dated 10th Oct 2008. applicable with effect from A.Y 2009-2010

Mr. Shiva Shankar do you remember that ever you have reply wrong answer to any query in past......i think certainly yes but might be you are ignorant of it.
The conclusion is that "no one is 100% complete perfect and updated knowledge about taxation and audit matters, this forum is to share information, knowledge with other peoples. If any one have posted/replied wrong then it does not meant that you replied in that bad way. It can be replied in polite and wise manner.
So please take care about commenting others in future.

Hi bare act says like this "Where the assessee incurs any expenditure in respect of which a payment or aggregate of payments made to a person in a day, otherwise than by an account payee cheque drawn on a bank or account payee bank draft, exceeds twenty thousand rupees, no deduction shall be Allowed in respect of such expenditure" Hence in it is not applicable.

Hi author, sorry, please Do not think that Seniors only will have the knowledge, some time this type of confusion will be happen to Seniors also which i have seen in my Articleship.

Thanks Mr. Anonymous. you told that, no one has 100% knowledge. I will also agree.
But, sec. 40A(3) is an important section. while assessing your client income (irrespective of individual or corporate) you should apply the section. 40A(3). while uploading the Form 3CD, you should specify the details of expenditure diss-allowed u/s. 40A(3).
Even a member working in industry also should use this section, while computing the taxable income.
you know a chartered accountant must have a knowledge of latest important updates. Why institute conduting seminars, workshops etc?
Do you know why institute mandated the CPE hours?
Do you know, now-a-days, number of CA's are facing un-employment. Why??

@ CA.Shiva shankar Sir please give me any circular , notification or case law to support your answer so that we will be perfect in 40A(3)
Thanks in Advance.
