We have a client & the same is recording discount on Previous years Sale in this year due to the fact that approval is received in the current year.....
My question is that if the same would be allowed in the current year as per Accounting Standard & Income tax act point of View ?

Yes, this can be accounted as current year cost in accounts. However, if it is specifically termed as Discount for previous year sale, Income tax officer may litigate on this. Hence, instead of disclosing the same as discount for last year, you can term it as additional discount given in the current year considering the performance of the last year.

But if the debtors are maintained in tally Invoice no wise & the same is adjusted in the current period against previous year sale invoice than this adjustment in Tally will itself a proof for that it is for pevious year .....How can one avoid it

Instead of adjusting it to previous year invoice, you adjust it to the appropriate oldest outstanding invoice in current year so that it will be discount for current year and debtors aging will also come down.
