The provisions of this section (40-A of IT Act)is applicable to computation of income under the head “Profits and gains of business or profession”. Hence it includes purchase of depreciable assets in cash

I disagree why because section 40A(3) speaks about disallowance of certain expenses whereas depreciation is not an expense but it is an allowance meaning there by that expenses and allowances cannot be equated.

No. section 40a(3) is not applicable on purchase of fixed assets. CBDT circular may be referred in this context.
