Quick Summary

This discussion explores whether petty cash disbursed to an employee for travel expenses is a deductible business expense under Section 37(1) of the Income Tax Act. The general rule states that expenses incurred for business purposes are allowable, while personal expenditures are not. The key consideration is whether the Rs. 11,000 spent over five days was genuinely for company business.
