i think it can as the limit for transporters is 35000
threshold limit is 35000
Yes transport firm can pay upto 35000 in cash to goods carriage owner.

1. According to sec 40A(3), deduction will not be available if the payment made to a person in a day in cash exceeds Rs .10,000. However, the above amount of Rs. 10,000 will be substituted by Rs. 35,000 in case of payments made to plying, hiring or leasing goods carriage.
2. In the given case carrying goods by truck will be covered under the above provision and the threshold limit applicable in the case for the purpose of sec 40A(3) will be Rs. 35,000. Hence the transport firm can pay Rs. 32,400 in cash and no disallowance will be attracted in the given case. 
Please correct me if the above solution has an alternative view.
