The main objective behind 40a(3) is to track and reduce black money in economy.
Here when one directly deposit in the suppliers bank account doesnt create a problem.
But still there is no caselaw for that and hence it will be disallowed.
THe case as mentioned by Bhav sharma is particularly for the Agriculture products.
pls refer to: https://www.caclubindia.com/experts/tax-audit-sec-40a-3--398785.asp
So it will be disallowed as Ito cannot track everytime that where the amount is deposited.
