Quick Summary
A user inquired about the legality of splitting a 2 lakh cash purchase into multiple 10,000 rupee payments on different days. Experts clarified that this method is incorrect. Indian Income Tax Act Section 40A(3) disallows expenditure exceeding ₹10,000 paid in cash, meaning such split payments are not compliant and could lead to disallowance of the expense.

It's not correct method...

Yes, So many people follow the way.

But, As per rule Cash Expenses not allowed 10k. The said rule wrongly understand by people and cash payment made 10k and multiple times in a bill...

 

Rule is cash expenses not exceeding above 10k and Cash payment also...

The Income Tax Act's Section 40A(3) addresses the maximum amount of cash that can be exchanged in a transaction. According to Section 40A(3), the Tax Act of India will disallow any expenditure over ₹10,000 that is paid for in cash.

So they can pay in installments plus their working capital Will be healthy
