My thought question: Have you ever been told that your query runs too fast?
My advice:
INDEXing a poor-performing query is like putting sugar on cat food. Yeah, it probably tastes better but are you sure you want to eat it?
The path of least resistance can be a slippery slope. Take care that fixing your fixes of fixes doesn't snowball and end up costing you more than fixing the root cause would have in the first place.
Need to UNPIVOT? Why not CROSS APPLY VALUES instead?[/url]

Very interesting problem there Aaron! Allow me to offer what I can here.
My interpretation of this is that it reminds me of Itzik Ben-Gan's subsequences challenge: http://sqlmag.com/t-sql/identifying-subsequence-in-sequence-part-3, albeit it...

Perhaps this might be a little simpler, assuming I got the requirements correct.
CREATE TABLE #ABC(
[Hno] [nchar](10) NULL,

Here's one that I believe will work with the desired record missing in either table:
CREATE TABLE #abc(
SeqNo smallint NULL,
Payment decimal(10, 2) NULL
);
GO
CREATE TABLE #def(
SeqNo smallint NULL,
Payment decimal(10, 2) NULL
);
GO
INSERT INTO...
