Summary: Provisions for gratuity and leave encashment transferred to a sister concern are generally not tax-deductible for the transferor unless they represent an actual discharge of liability. Deduction under Sections 40A(7) and 43B is restricted to actual payments made to employees or approved funds; simple accounting transfers are insufficient for tax purposes. Documentation of business expediency is essential to support any related payments as business expenditure.
