Hi DS

Sec 40A(3) doesn't apply in respect of expenditure which is not allowed u/s 30-37.

But if an assesse purchases depreciable capital asset for business purpose (in cash above 20000) , then the dep will be not allowd by this section, as dep is covered under sec 32.

No reference is needed.

In 40(A)(3), it is written that you will not be allowed deduction of the expenditure if it is paid in cash in excess of 20000.

Now we any ways dont claim deduction of a Fixed Asset. So there disallowance is out of question.

I do agree with Ashwani that we are not claiming any deduction for fixed asset, so disallowance is out of question. But I'm talking abt its dep, which will be disallowd by the virtue of sec 40A(3).

Thanx Sir, I got your point...........

But as Sanath Kumar said about the depreciation on such asset which is purchased by making payment in excess of Rs. 20000 through cash..........

Can we claim the depreciation on such asset.........

Plz clarify
