Agreed with CA Parveen Singh ji, that ist applicable on the expenditure and not on receipts, security deposit.

As per section 40A(3) of the Income Tax Act, 1961 " Disallowance of 100 % expenditure exceeding Rs 20,000/- if payment is made by any mode other than account payee cheque or draft ". therefore , the section uses the word expenditure and then only it would be disallowed . So,it does not  apply to security deposit..

sec 40A(3) is apply only on revenue expenditure not on capital expenditure so disallow,,,,,

IN THE ABOVE CASE 40A(3) DOES NOT APPLY BUT SEC-269SS GET ATTRACTED BECAUSE SECURITY DEPOSIT TAKE THE NATURE OF ADVANCE AND THEREFORE AS PER SEC-269SS ANY ADVANCE IN EXCESS OF 20,000 MUST BE MADE BY ACCOUNT PAYEE CHEQUE OR DRAFT.
