Can we pay salary of 15000 in cash

So effectively dividing the salary into two parts (7500 each) per month will be allowed? 

So I was looking section 40 a(3) and it said that if payment of more than 10k is made in a day that amount will be added to profits of business and deduction isn't available except for exception mentioned in rule 6DD. I'm confused regarding this. So does this mean that one can pay more than 10k in cash but they won't be able to take deductions on this payment or they can't pay more than 10k at all?
