08 November 2016 Section 40A(3)(a) of the Income-tax Act, 1961 provides that any expenditure incurred in respect of which payment is made in a sum exceeding Rs.20,000/- otherwise than by an account payee cheque drawn on a bank or by an account payee bank draft, shall not be allowed as a deduction.The statutory limit in section 40A(3) applies to payment made to a party at one time.
Since if in your case payment made to two different persons is less than Rs. 20000/-, then expense will be allowed.
