Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies the tax treatment of fixed assets purchased with cash under the PGBP head. For cash payments up to £10,000, the asset is capitalised, and depreciation can be claimed. However, for payments exceeding £10,000 in a single transaction, depreciation cannot be claimed under Section 32, and the cash amount cannot be added to the asset's cost as per Section 43 of the IT Act, 1961, due to Section 40A(3).

It is recommended not to apply cash in fixed asset.
Thanks, I know but what is the treatment after that?
Fixed asset is a capital expenditure.
capitalize the cost.
enter it in fixed asset register and charge depreciation as per the rates applicable in schedule 3.
avail credit for gst as input igst or cgst as the case may be.
1. Payment up to 10,000 in Cash, capitalised and claim depreciation.
2. Payment more than 10,000 in cash _ can't claim depreciation u/s 32 and and can't add cash amount in cost of fixed assets as per section 43 of IT act, 1961
For 1 st case normally apply depreciation in 2 nd case it is disallowed to pay more than 10000 in cash in single transaction if is possible to bifurcate the amount than do that otherwise ypu wont be able to claim dep on that amount
I am quite aware of the relevant sections SEC 40 A (3).
Disallowance of expenditure in respect of expenses incurred for fixed asset .
Like claiming depreciation benefit while computing income from business and profession is not asked for.
It's a wide subject.
