b) Incurred expenditure of an amount or aggregate of amount exceeding Rs. 2 lakhs for travel to a foreign country for yourself or any other person;

c) Incurred expenditure of amount or aggregate of amount exceeding Rs. 1 lakh on consumption of electricity.

b) is a beneficiary in any asset (including any financial interest in any entity) located outside India.
