The old provison stated as follows:
"twenty per cent of such expenditure shall not be allowed as a deduction"
.
" The amended provision states as follows;
"no deduction shall be allowed in respect of such expenditure;"
The amendment is applicable from asst year 2008-2009.
In view of the amended language, depreciation claimed in respect of expenditure on capital asset purchased in cash exceeding the limit will also be disallowed.
Tax audit report should report accordingly for asst year 2008-2009.
