07 May 2011 As per sec. 40 A (3) of income tax act
"Where the assessee incurs any expenditure in respect of which a payment or aggregate of payments made to a person in a day, otherwise than by an account payee cheque drawn on a bank or account payee bank draft, exceeds twenty thousand rupees, no deduction shall be allowed in respect of such expenditure"
if we see the provision, the cash payment is disallowed only when assessee has incurred the expenses in cash, however in this case assesee has made an advance to director of the company and actual cash expenditure is done by the director not by the company i.e.assesee. so in my opinion the same should not we disallowed. I know i am interpreting the provision in the interest of assessee so that i want to know whether we can interpret in this way. i am inviting other expert to please present your view.

thanks

08 May 2011 If company is paying an advance in cash and the same is used by director for expenditure in excess of Rs. 20000 then it shall be amounting to mere routing of transaction and the transactions so incurred shall be subject to disallowance u/s 40A(3).
However, if the directors have incurred the expenditure already and not the company is paying them through cheque or bank transfer, then the provisions of this section shall not attract. The expenditure wont be disallowed.

25 May 2011 Please explain the nature of expense. If the amount paid is for travel advance, the same will not be disallowed. The basic question should be rephrased so that one can undrstand the question and crcumstances clearly.
