I have a qurery. Under Income tax any payment exceeding Rs. 20000 in cash is disallowed. Does the same applies to Capital Expenditure also. Like if a person purchases a laptop of Rs. 40000 in cash making one time payment then depreciation on it will be allowed or disallowed.

Thanks if any one can answer the same

Hi!

Section 40A(3) is applicable in respect of any expenditure which is deductible under Income Tax Act while computing income from business or profession.

The the nature of expenditure referred by you is of capital nature, hence provision of section 40A(3) will not be applicable.

The disallowance is concerned with any payment. So, this will be disallowed and you can't claim depreciation.
