Hi,

Refer this

Payment of Protection Money to Rowdies & Police:  In the another landmark judgment decided by Karnataka High Court that any payment to police or rowdies for getting protection from them is illegal and should not be allowed. Refer CIT v Neelavathi & Others 322 ITR 643 (2010).

its a illegal expenses, given which is not required to give under government act....... so no question it\ will be disallowed.

To whom it is needed - saving karthik

undoubtedly illegal expense ...

and hence not allowed as deduction. simple logic

i dont think IT department.. will allow these payment as deduction otherwise everyone will take this advantage to save their taxes...

ABSOLUTELY NOT ALLOWED

Not Allowed,

HOWEVER DO CLAIM IT BY TAKING A FAKE BILL FOR ANY EXPENSE,ie , ADJUST UNDER ANY EXPENSE HEAD.

undoubtebly this payment is not allowed under37(1). However ransom money paid to free director is allowed as per CIT VS  khemchand motilal tobacco products(p) ltd(madhay pradesh)

Whether Legal or illegal, the payment made for protection is not allowed.
