28 March 2011 My question related to 40A(3) of income tax act, 1961 --
rs. 30000/- given to an employee for Advance against salary during p.y. and rs. 2000/- p.m. deduct from his salary .
is 40A(3) attract on payment of rs.30000/-

30 March 2011 Hi,

IF the Amount is paid in Cash then surely Sec 40A(3) will be applicable calling for Disallowance of such amount.

Thank you,

01 April 2011 it is advance against salary and company deduct some amount per month from their salary to cover this advance.

03 April 2011 Hi,

If it is Adv Against Salary, then there will no question of such amount being claimed as a dedcution or disallownace of the same as it will be showed as " Advances to Employees" under Current Asset.
It cannot be termed as payment & therefore Sec 40A(3) is not applicable.

Further what ever deductions regularly from the employees salary, it will be in " Advances to Employees A/c" & not in P&L A/c.

Hope i have replied your Querry.
