Yes, It will violate provisions u/s.40A(3). So amount paid as advance to party will be disallowed in the year in which you claim such expenses in profit and Loss account. It is not matter whether you paid amount for a single bill or for multiple bills and it is the matter whether aggregate amounts paid to a single person in a single day exceeds Rs.20,000. If you treat it as Unsecured Loan then there will be no problem to you but problem exists for receiver as it amounts to 269SS violation (Acceptance of Loan in cash in excess of Rs.20,000) which will leads to penalty equal to violation amount.
