Friends

A company assessee engaged in construction business paid Rs 25,000 to a contractor in cash. The payment was debited to Soil Testing charges under WIP. It is not being charged to PL, ie, deduction is not being claimed under Business Profits.

It will be reflected in Balance Sheet under Current Assets.

Will section 40A(3) be attaracted in this situation.
