30 October 2009 If the expenditure towards purchase of materials in respect of which a payment or aggregate of payments made to a person in a day, other wise than by an account payee cheque drawn on a bank or account payee bank draft, exceeds Rs 20000/-, the whole of such expenditure shall not be allowed as a deduction towards business expenditure. This is governed by section 40A (3) of The Income tax Act,1961.

30 October 2009 Hi Rashid,

This is expected that all purchase to be made against original bills. Even after that, all payments exceeding Rs. 20,000, including for "Purchase in trading business" is to be made by account payee cheque only. If any expenses/purchase above 20000 paid in cash then that will be disallowed for income Tax purpose.
