My client is in logistics business and so he has many trucks.. The trucks are running in different parts of the country and so there is a lot of traffic violations because of which the client is paying around rupees 3 lakhs as fine for violation of road rules and traffic rules in 13-14. As we all know find penalties are disallowed expenses under income tax act so my question is dil this expense be also disallowed under any section of the Income tax act
