u/s 40A(3), advance payments are also covered.
.
Scope of the word 'expenditure' for the purpose of Sec. 40A(3):
Even if the payments were made by way of advances and were ultimately treated as discharging the liability to pay the price of the goods purchased, the payments so made must be considered to fall within the expression ‘expenditure’ incurred for payment of the price of the goods.
- Kejriwal Iron Stores v. CIT [1988] 169 ITR 12 (Raj.).
.
Therefore, it will be considered as payment made in violation of the provisions of section 40A(3) and no deduction shall be allowed.
