1. It is important to note in here that sec 40A(3) disallows payment in excess of Rs. 10,000 in cash. The wordings gave in sec 40A(3) is only towards expenditure and nothing more.
2. It is read as "where the assessee incurs any expenditure" so cash payment of Rs. 10,000 is only in relation to expenses and nothing more.
3. In your case cash payment made in relation to sales return is allowed as per income tax act.
Please correct me if the above solution has an alternative view.
