30 October 2013 Thanks a lot.

If possible, please let me know, is there any sense in mentioning ‘WHETHER CHEQUE REALISED WITHIN 15 DAYS and answering YES’ even though the Assessee made belated payments for all the months in the year

Or the above stated expression shall apply only where the payments are made within due date.

(This requirement is for Clause 16(b) of TAR).

Ans : ……………… What is the correct practice?

Once again, thanks.
