ya depreciation can be allowed
Yes depreciation is allowed u/s of IT ACT 1961 irrespective of mode payment, provided the asset is put to use as on relevant date of the financial year.
No... The Cheque payment amount is only allowed for depreciation. 20,000 is disallowed as per sec 40a(3)

Harsha i think you are talking about 40A(3). The expense of 20000 will be disallowed as the same is above the limit but for the purpose of depreciation cost will taken the amount paid by the purchaser provided the asset used for business purpose. in that case he can take depreciation based on the number of days used by him. Correct me if i am wrong.

attn: Mr. Ashwin, as per the latest amendment, cash payment made in excess of 10000 towards revenue expenditure or capital expenditure will be disallowed u/s 40A(3) or 43 respectively
