The section 44AD actually starts as:
(1) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in sections 28 to 43C,
This means once you opt for presumptive taxation under section 44AD, you wont be able to claim any benefit/deductions under the sections ranging from 28 to 43C. Hence a sum of flat 8% of total turnover shall have to be offered to tax.

It will get disallowed under section 40A(3).
Actually i would like to modify my previous answer as:
Regarding the "Notwithstanding....." clause
For instance, as per section 28:
"The following income shall be chargeable to income-tax under the head "Profits and gains of business or profession",—
(i) the profits and gains of any business or profession which was carried on by the assessee at any time during the previous year;"
But, the above provision is contrary to section 44AD, since section 28 requires ALL profits from B/P of ALL Assessees to be charged to tax under PGBP. But 44AD requires only 8% of total turnover of ELIGIBLE assessees to be charged to tax under PGBP. Hence, the initial words of 44AD(1) helps avoid this contradiction by stating that 44AD shall prevail in case of any such controversies. This does not mean that section 28 to 43C is completely not applicable. It only implies that in case of contradictions, 44AD shall prevail.
Regarding cash payment to supplier
As per 44AD(2), Any deduction allowable under the provisions of sections 30 to 38 shall, for the purposes of sub-section (1), be deemed to have been already given full effect to and no further deduction under those sections shall be allowed
Hence section 40A(3) is not covered here and is applicable even if 44AD scheme is opted.

Okay Vishal. Let me break it down to you, with an example:
Eg., Section 28 requires all profits (not 8%) of all assessees (not just ELIGIBLE) to be taxed under PGBP.
Section 44AD requires only 8% (Not All profits) of Total turnover of ELIGIBLE Assessees to be taxed as income under PGBP.
Just imagine, If both the above sections applied simultaneously, there could be a lot of confusion. Here, we see section 28 provisions are contradicting (or contrary to) section 44AD. Hence, to avoid this, section 44AD starts with the words, 'Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in sections 28 to 43C'.
This means section 44AD provisions shall prevail over section 28 - 43CA. Hence, in above example, only 8% is taxable under PGBP, not all profits. Its the same case with the other sections upto 43CA.
It does not mean that section 28 to 43C is completely not applicable. It only implies that in case of contradictions, 44AD shall prevail.

Sir it means, Anything which prevail in 28 to 43C does not get overruled.. Further it means.. Any matter which is specified in 44AD.. Then in such a case section 28 to 43C overrule.. |  |
Yes. This is Correct.
28 to 43CA -> overruled by 44AD only in case of contradiction
30 to 38 -> not at all applicable if 44AD opted - since its deemed to have been claimed - 44AD(2)

THAT MEANS
EVEN IF SOMETHING IS WRITTEN, THAT IS OPPOSITE IN MEANING TO THE PROVISION; TE PROVISION WILL STILL APPLY
ACTULLY THIS MEANS TO SAY : THE GVEN PRVSN WILL ALWAYS APPLY

If you opt for presumptive taxation and pays some expenses exceeding Rs. 20,000 in cash, AO cannot disallow the same. Since the 8% rate considers everything and there won't be any dissallowance or allowances to it.
