In Sri Renukeswara Rice Mills v. ITO (2006) 8 (II) ITCL 191 (Bang-Trib) It was held that payment in cash made directly to bank account of payee is not a direct payment to payee but only to credit of bank account without payee actually receiving cash and, therefore, such payment was not made in violation of section 40A(3) and, thus no disallowance could be made.
