The employer will be able to pay upto Rs. 10,000 in CASH , as exceeding such amount in cash is restricted as per the Provision of Section 40A(3) of the Income Tax Act 1961, under the head PGBP.

It is Rs. 10,000 per day per person.

Section 40A(3) restricts Payment exceeding Rs. 10,000 in CASH.

Section 269ST restricts Cash Receipts of Rs. 2,00,000 per day.

Does it mean that an employee who gets a monthly salary of Rs. 3 lakhs (for example) can take in cash Rs. 10000 from his/her employer throughout the month instead of a credit at the end of the month as Rs. 10000x30 = Rs. 3 lakhs? Is this legal?
