Section 40A(3) is not applicable to Capital Assets and hence capital assets can be purchased by cash payment of above Rs.20,000/-. The Disallowance will be made only in respect of payments made and treated as Revenue Expenditure

Dear Mr. Dulal Chattrjee,

You have not mentioned nature and type of creditor. if it is creditor for any capital assets purchased, than this case is out of this section i.e. Sec. 40A

If your creditor is creditor for expences(Revenue nature) than payment over INR.20000 is disallowed commonaly if we not consider allowed cases like expences for hiring, plying etc..

y all of u so confused .......

sec- 40A(3) clearly talks abt ONLY disallowance of any payment of REVENUE EXPENDITURE exceeding the limit (either 20000/- in case of all paymen or 35000/- in case of payment of transport) ??

Purchase of Truck is a Capital expenditure ????

so where is the question of Disallowance???

again y r u going 4 the intention of law as many sections r introduced in the ACT which makes no sense at all..

still there r so many loop holes in many section..

and which leads to huge TAX evasion....
