If an assessee purchases depreciable assets exceeding Rs 20000 in cash, that expenditure would be disallowed by the income tax or not?
can we claim Depreciation on such assets?
If both of the above are disallowed,then what will be the effect at the time of sale of that asset(regarding ST/LT & COA)?
Please also provide us relevant section & case law (if any).
