Quick Summary
This discussion explores the implications of paying employees a cash salary when the employer files under Section 44AD. While Section 44AD generally simplifies expense claims, paying cash salaries exceeding Rs. 10,000 per transaction could lead to disallowance under Section 40(A)(3), even for small businesses. Both employers and employees should be aware of these potential issues during tax scrutiny.

Even though  you are not  filing  Profit  and Loss account  and Balance sheet  in ITR 4 ( section 44AD)  , question will not arises  of  disallowance of  Cash expense look like , however  Cash and Equivalents including  sundry debtors , sundry Creditors , stock  are mandatory  information  in ITR 4 , so please check accordingly how section 40(A)(3) may applicable .

No issues, No question arise section 44AD no expense disallowed and no no expense allowed.
It is perfectly within the the boundaries of the act for an AO to disallow such cash expense.

so small businesses having turnover less than 2 crores also have to take care of disallowance provisions.

however there may be some judgements against my view.
40A is non obstante section. moreover, all expenses are deemed to be allowed under 44AD only subject to the conditions mentioned the respective sections. hence, in case of scrutiny, the cash payments in excess of rs. 10000 will be disallowed
