Regarding salary payment to partners in cash:
* **Section 40A(3)** of the Income Tax Act says any payment exceeding ₹10,000 made in **cash** to a person (including partners) is **not allowed as a deduction** for the firm.
* Therefore, **salary paid to partners should be paid by account payee cheque, bank draft, or electronic transfer** to be allowable as a deduction.

### If the firm has not issued cheques:
* Payments made **fully in cash exceeding ₹10,000 will attract disallowance** under Section 40A(3).
* Splitting payment into two cash payments of ₹15,000 each **does not help**, because each payment exceeds ₹10,000.
* Even if you split it into smaller payments below ₹10,000, the total amount paid in cash to the same person during a day **cannot exceed ₹10,000** (Section 40A(3) read with Explanation).
---
### What to do?
* Start paying partners through **bank transfers or account payee cheques** for salary to avoid disallowance.
* If cash payments have already been made above ₹10,000, expect that portion to be disallowed under Section 40A(3).
* For compliance and audit purposes, maintain proper payment proofs (bank statements, cheque copies).
