Quick Summary
Paying an employee a cash salary exceeding £20,000 per month may be disallowed under Section 40A(3) of the Income Tax Act. However, specific exceptions exist under Rule 6DD of the Income Tax Rules, which you should consult to see if your situation applies. If you are opting for presumptive taxation schemes (Sections 44AD, 44ADA, or 44AE), this disallowance typically won't apply.

Not an issue
It will be disallowed under section 40A(3) of the income tax act , however you can refer rule 6DD of the income tax rules, it is allowed in some cases as per the rule 6DD .so refer rule 6DD of the income tax rules, and check it is applicable in your case or not .

However, if the assessee is opting for presumptive taxation u/s 44AD / 44ADA / 44AE then there shall not bes such disallowance.
