No disallowance of cash payments to farmers : ITAT ITAT held therein when considering Rule 6DD(e)(i) of the Income Tax Rules, 1962, and when the payment was made by cash exceeding Rs. 20,000/-, it was permissible if the same was paid for purchase of agricultural produces. If there are entries in the books of accounts and payment is shown to have been made to farmers and when receipts were also produced but the assessee could not produce the farmers/list of farmers for which a reasonable explanation was also given, no addition could be made u/s.40A(3) of the Act. Respectfully following the aforesaid decision, we hold that the disallowance made u/s. 40A(3) of the Act deserves to be deleted and the same is hereby deleted.
