Cash payment for the purchase of depreciable asset


This query is : Resolved 

09 October 2009 Dear Sir

If we make payment above Rs. 20000/- in cash for the purchase of fixed asset, then whether provisions of Section 40A (3)are attracted or not?

If it attract then which amount will be disallowed ? & why?


09 October 2009 Since it is a payment for capital expenditure, there is no question of any dis allowance.

09 October 2009 section 40A(3) does not attract

09 October 2009 agree with experts

09 October 2009 but the depreciation is booked as expenses. Hence this amount to indirect booking of cash expenses above 20K. Hence the depreciation on such asset will be disallowed u/s 40A(3).

Its my opinion.

09 October 2009 agreed with Chetan.. exactly..

10 October 2009 Beg to disagree that depreciation will be disallowed.

Depreciation is neither an expense or expenditure. It is an allowance.

The captioned section is not applicable to an allowance.

10 October 2009 40A(3) not applicable on assets purchased

10 October 2009 Sec. 40A(3) not applicable.

13 October 2009 40A(3) not applicable. pls do not connfuse students
