it should be disallowed as the prov of section 40A(3) clearly states that expense is disallowed were payment made exceeds rs 20000 in a single day to a single person.
But Vinod Gupta Module 2 has a similar sum.. It says different bills means different expenditures.. And 40(A)(3) says expenditure in respect of which single person single day... But here different bills means different expenditures right... N d main object is to curb flow of Black Money... If there are 6 different genuine bills n all bills less than 20000 each n paid at one shot in cash, it means in Tally or any accounting package we would have passed 6 different expense entries for Control purpose... Seriously there is some more clarity needed with respect to this as in whether different bills from same party constitutes same expenditure or different expenditures...
