Dear Somnath,
It shall not be disallowed being a cash payment made to the "Government".
Please refer the plain text of Section 40A(3) read with rule 6DD of Income Tax Rules :
" (b) where the payment is made to Government and, under the rules framed by it, such payment is required to be made in legal tender ; "
