As per Section 40A(3), any cash payment exceeding ₹10,000 in a single day to a single person for business expenses is generally not allowed as a tax-deductible expense. However, there is a higher limit of ₹35,000 for cash payments made to transporters. There are certain exceptions to this rule, as specified under the section. Section 43: If a payment of more than ₹10,000 is made in cash for acquiring an asset, this expenditure will be disregarded when determining the actual cost of that asset for depreciation purposes.
