26 November 2020 Whether the reimbursement to employee by way of proper banking channel be disallowed as an expense if original payment by employee was made in cash exceeding INR 10,000?

What if in the above case, payment was made to govt. or any municipal corporation, where they do not accept payment by any mode other than cash?
