05 July 2012 Disallowance u/s. 40A( 3) is applicable for each payment and not for the aggregate of the various payments made to same party during one day: The Assessee’s plea against the disallowance u/s. 40A(3) was that each payment was below, Rs.20,000/-, and, therefore, Sec. 40A(3) is not applicable. However, as per the A.O., since the payment of one day exceeded Rs. 20,000/-, therefore, Sec. 40A( 3) was applicable.

05 July 2012 Section 40A(3) reads as under:

"Where the assessee incurs any expenditure in respect of which a payment or AGGREGATE of payments made to a person in A DAY ........"

As is clear from the above wordings that if an assessee makes multiple payments to a person in ONE SINGLE DAY otherwise than by an account payee cheque AND the AGGREGATE of such payments exceeds Rs. 20,000 the expense shall be DISALLOWED.
