Attar Singh Gurmukh Singh v. ITO
191 ITR 667 · 1991 · Supreme Court
254
citing judgments

Section 40A(3) is not absolute, and its application considers business expediency, practical difficulties, and other relevant factors, while keeping in mind its objective to curb the practice of ploughing unaccounted money into the system.

Mudiam Oil Co. v. ITO
92 ITR 519 · 1973 · High Court
35
citing judgments

Section 40A(3) and Rule 6DD are intended to regulate business transactions, prevent the use of unaccounted money, and reduce the chances of using black money. Payments made by crossed cheque or draft facilitate verification of genuineness and source of funds.

Girdharilal Goenka v. CIT
179 ITR 122 · 1989 · High Court
31
citing judgments

The Assessing Officer should exercise discretion under Section 40A(3) by considering business expediency, surrounding circumstances, and the facts of each case, balancing legal requirements with assessee hardship, rather than relying solely on Board circulars.

Sri Renukeswara Rice Mills v. ITO
93 ITD 263 · 2005 · ITAT

citing judgments

Cash payments made to farmers are exempt from Section 40A(3) disallowance if the payment is routed through the payee's bank account and is traceable, ensuring the payee receives the funds.
