Payment to farmers can be made in cash, expenditure will not be disallowed under section 40A(3) because payment to farmers is still covered in exemptions given under rule 6DD. However in case you are making payment above 2,00,000 to any farmer, Provisions of new Section 269ST will be applicable and Penalty can be levied on farmer for accepting payment above 2,00,000 in cash since no exemption is given to farmers under Section 269ST.
