whether cash payment made for purchase of fixed assets allowable or not.as i have read two different views of two renouned authors on this
as per girish ahuja sir's book - cash paid exceeding rs.20000 for purchase of capital assets is not disallowed under sec 40a(3)

as per singhania sir's book , it is written that cash paid for purchase of depriciable assets is disallowed u/s 40a(3)to the extent depriciation is claimed on such portion
