12 June 2012 it will not have an impact....any expenses incurred in cash for more than Rs 20000/-
Section 40A(3):
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.

Hence no addition / disallowance

12 June 2012 The section 40(A)3 is not applicable in case of capital expenditure which are not deductible under the head business or profession.

And also in case of depreciation 40(A)3 won't applicable since there is no cash outlay at all.

12 June 2012 40A(3) doesn't applicable on capital exp. So if u purchase fixed asset there is no revenue exp. so no effect of disallow or not.

40A(3) is for cash exp. Depreciation is not an cash payment. So there is no disallowance of this.

12 June 2012 Dear Mr. Biren,

what can be disallowed under Section 40A(3) is only expenditure incurred and not any allowance admissible to an assessee. Therefore, the depreciation allowance cannot be made a subject matter of disallowance under Section 40A(3).

Thanks

05 June 2013 Section 40 A(3) is for expenses covered under sections 30 to 37 of the Income tax act,1961 and claimed as deduction. Though depreciation is covered in between those sections, it is not an expense but an allowance. So section 40A(3) cannot be applied on depreciation on cash purchase of assets. Further Circular no. 34 dated 05-03-1970 also says that section 40 A(3) is not applicable for purchase of a capital asset not meant for resale.
