Sec. 40A(2)(b)

Madhusudan

If any expenditure is made by assessee & this transaction involves the person who is relative as defined in this section & the payment made to him is reasonable excess in comparison to market fair value.....then such exces amount is disallowed & added to the income of assessee.

this section applies for the payment to relatives.....

in 3CD you have to specify any payment done to relative of the assesse during the previous year

who comes under the term relatives .....if   i made payment to my cousin brother ....is it admsible nder this act ???

The term Relative shall include -

- Spouse of the individual.

- Brother or Sister of individual.

- Lineal ascendant or Lineal Descendant of individual.

Hi,

Definition of relative given by Varun does'nt seems correct. this deifnition is given u/s 56 which related only to that section.

Definiation of relative is given in section 2(41) which is that relative means

- Husband, wife, brother or sister or any lineal ascendant or descendant of that individual
