08 July 2011 Hi,
I dont think, it would be any problem if you capitalise the Assets once you make the payment of the same.

08 July 2011 Section 40A(3) of Income Tax Act speaks about expenses claimed and paid in cash exceeding certain limit. If you have made the investment in Fixed assets the act is not putting any restriction. You can purchase the assets in cash but restrict as far as possible and debit to the respective assets but the cash payment should always be supported with the proper documents and if required take the cash memo and in case of second hand machinery or other assets have an agreement in which you can specifically mentioned terms cash payment.
