Dear Krishna,
Any payment exceeding rs.20000 made to one person in one day shall be disallowed u/s 40A(3) of the IT act provided payment made is for incurring expenditure which is otherwise deductible under tthe other prov. of the act for computing income from business or profession.
Thus advance above 20000 should be disallowed u/s 40A(3) provided such advance is given for meeting business expenses exceeding Rs.20,000 (may spend either at one go or in piecemil).
If the advance given as loan given to employees such as festival advance, temporary advance, etc. which is refundable back to person, then it would not attract sec 40A(3).
Further, Even if advance exceeding 20000 given, it would not be disallowed u/s 40A(3) if the expenditures for which it is given doesn't exceed 20000.
Regards,
MANOJ
