	Thank u all.... so i conclude that any payament made through internet tranfers are as good as making payments by crossed cheque/draft as allowed under Sec.40A(3)... To Quote Mr.Dharmaraju  "Regarding the query, there will be no disallowance as Rule 6DD of IT Rules provided for the exceptions."...just to confirm...are u talking about the clause in Rule 6DD  im giving below ? "(d)   where the payment is made by—    (i)   any letter of credit arrangements through a bank ;   (ii)   a mail or telegraphic transfer through a bank ; (iii)   a book adjustment from any account in a bank to any other account in that or any other bank ; (iv)   a bill of exchange made payable only to a bank.             Explanation : For the purposes of this clause and clause (h), the term “bank” means any bank, banking company or society referred to in sub-clauses (i) to (iv) of clause (a) and includes any bank [not being a banking company54 as defined in clause (c) of section 5 of the Banking Regulation Act, 1949 (10 of 1949)], whether incorporated or not, which is established outside India"

In Specific Sub-rule c(v) which reads as below;

`use of electronic clearing system through a bank account`

ok...thank u all once again for the help...n thank u Dharamraju for pointing it out,...i was refering to the rule 6DD before the amendment....now only i saw the updation....for all others, the relevant amendment is --> INCOME-TAX (SEVENTH AMENDMENT) RULES, 2008 – SUBSTITUTION OF RULE 6DD - NOTIFICATION NO. 97/2008, DATED 10-10-2008...

Dear all,

Im my opinion

The purpose of the sec 40A(3) and the pupose of these crossed cheque is to ensure that the payment has to reach the original creditor/any other person and Hence payment through Internet banking is not the violation of the said section.

in my openion , the law makers has forgotten to amend the section 40A 3 ,, I hope they will amend it and insert some proviso for the internet banking payment.

Agree with Sunshine ,Sec 40 A(3) will not be applicable in  your case.

Absolutely not applicable...

Basic intention of the law is to check the cash transactions to curb 

black money...

YES ,I agree with all my friends but payment made through internet banking very well fall with in the purview of rule 6DD ,  in my opinion revenue expenses wil not be disallowed.
