05 March 2013 we are doing payment of more than rs 20000 in a day to a single party in cash for purchasing a diesel.

whether the above expenses will be disallowable as per income tax act.

they do accept A/c payee chq. so we r doing cash payment.

05 March 2013 If you are making payment exceeding Rs.20000 it will attract Sec 40A(3).
it means if any assessee pays amount exceeding Rs.20000 in cash it will be disallowed.

If supplier is not accepting A/c payee Cheque you can make arrangement with supplier for either Advance Payment or opening running account, this will resolve your problem.
