Section 40A(3)

Pay vide cheque or net banking...

If i pay in Cash on different days then it is allowed?

Allowed. ............

Allowed if made on different days

Disallowed as payment against invoice is exceeding the limit of Rs 10,000/-.. it is immaterial that you are making payment against that invoice below 10000 on different dates..

Under 40A(3) -Per day / Per person cash payment or aggregate cash payment in excess of 10000/- is not allowed as expenditure.

This has nothing to do with amount of the bill.

Payment of 8000 x 5 different dates of a bill of 40000/- is allowable.
-------
Exceptions:- 40A(3) does not apply to repayment of loans or payment towards the purchase price of capital assets such as plant and machinery not for re-sale.

If the aggregate payment exceeds Rs. 20000 under different cash memo from a person in a single order on a particular day ; its disallowed.
The expense cannot be considered as an allowable deduction provided he earns his income from business and profession.

@ shaishav

It is Rs 10000/- okay.

Shaishav its Rs.10000 per day per transaction for a particular order.

@ Kapadia Pravin

w.e.f. 01.04.2017 the limit for cash payment in respect of an expenditure is reduced to Rs 10000/- instead of Rs 20000/-. The disallowance u/s 40A(3) pertains to not only a single or aggregate payment but also in respect of an 'expenditure' Thus in other words for the purposes of section 40A(3) both the payment and amount of bill i.e. expenditure should not exceed Rs 10000/- even if payment is made on different dates. There is a tribunal ruling to this effect in the case of Raja & Co. v. CIT [2014] 64 SOT 12

@ Abhay Gupta
Hi
Thanks for your views. But there are innumerable decisions by High Courts and Supreme Courts on section 40A(3).

The section talks about
""""
Where the assessee incurs any expenditure in respect of which a payment or aggregate of payments made to a person...... in a day,...... otherwise than by an account payee cheque ......exceeds 10000/-, ….......no deduction shall be allowed in respect of such expenditure.""""

Here is an Gauhati Hight Court decision ....
""""
The Gauhati High Court has observed that Section 40A(3) applies only to payments made on account of 'expenditure incurred' and the payment made for purchase of stock-in-trade cannot be termed as 'expenditure incurred since money does not go irretrievably in such cases.""
