Dear all,

We engages 200 laborers to work in our plant construction. Daily payment approx 40,000 per day.

My quest is can I pass single cash entry in cash book for Rs.40,000 as labor payments.

Is it allowable expenditure under income tax?

Pls clarify?

13 January 2011 Sir, they are not our employees. Daily labour workers. Even, they will not come to work daily, it is up to their interest. That is the why we are not maintaining the register. Based on daily count of laborers, we will pay to a single person for distribution of money. He is also a labor worker.

Just we are making daily or weakly labour payments based on daily count of no. of persons. What we have to do?
