If the payment is against an expense
claimed as deduction in computing income from profits and gains of business,
then you will not get deduction for the expense to the extent it is paid in cash, as per section 40A(3).
Means their taxable income will increase.
But if they are making payment due to business expediency reasons or in circumstances covered in rule 6DD, disallowance of the expenditure will not arise.
Since the person is a creditor, i am assuming it is for purchase of goods or receipt of service. Disallowance as per sec 40A(3) will arise. If it is payment against capital good price, the disallowance wont come. (as per circular 34, dated 05-03-1970)
