07 September 2010 Sec. 40A(3) provides that where an 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 a/c payee chq or a/c payee draft, excees Rs. 20,000/- no deduction shall be allowed in respect of such exp. As in your case the payment does not exceed the ceiling of Rs. 20,000/- in a day, the section is not attracted eventhough the agreegate payt against the single invoice exceeds Rs. 20,000/-.
