Dear Osheen,

ALL of them are decided case laws -

1) Money paid to competitor - If benefits extends over no. of years then it shall be dissallowed being expense of capital in nature.

2) Expenses on Foreign travel -this is the most controversial thing, u can find judgment on either grounds but as of now it will be disallowed.

3) Bonus above bonus act is allowable subject to Sec 43B

4)  Cost of statue - Disallowed.

5) Disallowed - All Donations are to be disallowed unless specifically allowed - Non obligatory expenditure & hence shall be disallowed.

6) Disallowed

Amir for the amount paid to the competitor it cannot be capitalised... NEVER....
