Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies Section 40A(3) of the Income Tax Act regarding cash payments. A key point is that for transporters, the cash payment limit is £35,000 per day, not £30,000. Therefore, a payment of £30,000 to a transport company in a single day is permissible and not subject to disallowance under this section.

No, it will not be disallowed as for transporters cash limit is 35000 rupees in a day, so for 30000 rupees it is allowed u/s 40A(3), no problem
No disallowace, as for Transporter limit is Rs. 35000
Disallowance while computing profits and gains from business and Profession

expenses greater in cash of 30000 is disallowed and will be considered to be added to profit.

Mukherjee JI Please read the section again

Sabyasachi please read the section
No, it won't be disallowed when payment to transporter is upto Rs.35,000

Yes, it won't be disallowed as the limit is Rs. 35,000 for transporters

I assumed its paid in cash.
the section tells that if its Rs
35000 in a single contract or Rs. 1 lakh in a day.
I ASSUMEE ITS PAID IN CASH.
SO HENCE ITS NOT DISALLOWED.
Your Assumption is wrong, as there is no limit of Rs. 1,00,000 for Cash Payments

Rs. 1 lakh in a year.

The querist has not mentioned anything about the mode of payment.
