For accounts purposes yes. But for income tax purpose you cant claim the expense.
Income tax it wil be disallowed under section 40 (A) 3...it wil be deemed to ur income wen computing tax

Can he not show the amount expended  of Rs 20000 per day for  8 days.??

For Income tax purposes, it wouldn't be allowed. firstly it is pertaining to previous year. Secondly, payment is made in cash. For accounting purpose, you can show it, but it will be disallowed. 

If you still want to claim it , then revise your last year return, show the payment as outstanding and then make the payments in cash in current year in different instalments in amounts below Rs. 20000. But you cant claim it in the current year. 

I think you should better skip it and not show it.

Hi shiroor, it is aggregate of payments in a single day. As long as it is paid on sigle day no allowance even if bill is splitup.

agreed with Karthik,

I am not from accounts. so please explain in simple terms  

The party can revise the bill and give fresh bill on 1st April 2015.

rs 20000 can be booked against the bill every day or week for 8 times .any probelm  with this.

No problem. You may take a fresh bill any dated after 31.03.2015 simply 01.04.2015 or any later date. And made the payments rs. 20000 each per day. If u do like this then payment will not be disallowed in Income Tax.

How can you take a fresh bill. Dont forget that the vendor have also accounted this transaction in his books of account and also paid the taxes. It may be harmful for you.

 

 

It doesnt depend on how one books as long as payment in single day exceeds 20000 for that particular expense. You can split payments also in your books but bank statement cannot be changed which is conclusive evidence. After making payment exceeding rs 20000 which reflects in bank account the mere changing of entry will not gain you any advantage.
