We made a provision for bonus of Rs.30 lacs on 31-03-2014. But we paid Rs.50 lacs as bonus to employees on 31-05-2014.
Now what amt will be allowed as expense u/s 43b???
30 or 50???

Under Section 43B, Bonus expenses can be claimed as deduction only it paid on before the due date of filling of Return of Income (139(1)).
In your case you are eligible for claiming deduction.

It is allowed on paid basis not on provision basis. therefore Rs. 50 lacs will allowed as deduction subject to the provision of section 40A(3) read with rule 6DD
