REGARDING SECTION 43B 1 H

This query is : Resolved 

Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies that Section 43B(h) of the Income Tax Act applies to purchases from registered MSME traders, not just manufacturers. If you've opted into the 44AD scheme and purchased goods from an MSME-registered trader, you must adhere to payment timelines (within 15 or 45 days, depending on agreement) to claim the expense deduction. The CBDT's clarification confirms this applicability, and the definition of MSMEs now covers both goods and services suppliers without differentiation.
