18 July 2009Hi All,
Could you please tell me whether the reimbursements to an employee by his employer in excess of Rs.20,000/- paid other than by an account payee cheque is covered under the purview of the aforesaid section?
Please reply at earliest & it would be really great if you could give any decided case law in support or any commentary for that matter.
Thanks & Regards

As per my opinion "REIMBURSEMENT" is also the expenses for the company and section 40A(3) is applicable for any payment "EXPENDITURE" and i think expenditure words itself says everythng.................
So payment for reimbursement should be done accordingly.............section40A(3)
