The payment was made in cash. As per the provisions of section 40 A (3) of the Income Tax Act, 1961 any cash payment in excess of Rs. 20,000/- is disallowable and will be reflected in your Tax Audit Report. If a single Journal Voucher is passed on 17th February 2016, the A.O. will refer to the entry in the cash book since the advance is in the name of the employee.
I would suggest that the expenses be booked under different Journal Vouchers such that the expenses booked on a particular day in the name of the employee is below Rs.20,000/-.
