Sec 40A(3) states that any expenditure made to a person otherwise than by way of account payee cjeque or bank draft exceeding 20,000/- and 35,000/- in case of transporters shall not be allowed as deduction.

So, when you haev paid 75,000/- to a single person in cash, it would attract Sec 40A(3), irrespective of the fact that it has been paid for separate GR.
