You should segregate the Salary / Remuneration from the "Out of Pocket expenses" incurred by the Employee which are to be accounted as Expenses under different heads. It is advisable to route the Salary / Remuneration seperately by way of cheque payment with proper deduction of Profession Tax, PF, and TDS thereon. Production Expenses backed by proper supporting documentary evidence are allowable. Adhoc cash payments will be treated as "Advance to Employee" to be reversed as and when the expense(s) are booked.

Educate the Company Management that cash expenses above Rs. 20,000/- per day are scrutinized by the Assessing Officer, and there is a possibility of them being disallowed during the assessment.
Try and persuade the Company Management to negotiate with suppliers of materials and services to bill the Company on weekly, fortnightly, or monthly basis and submit Invoices to be settled by cheque payment only. It will help in proper Cash flow management as well.
