08 December 2010 Sir,
Consider the example :
Mr X is a assessee whose due date is 31st July u/s 139(1).

He deducts TDS on 31st March,2010 but does not pay it. He wants to file return on 5th June, 2010. He will pay the TDS with interest before 31st July.

My question is 'What is the allowability of the expense on which TDS is made ?' because u/s 40 ia its mentioned that if tds is paid before the due date u/s 139(1) then the expense shall be allowed for that A.Y.

so in above example i want to file return on 5th june but for TDS payment i have time till 31st July.

Please clarify the matter at the earliest.

Regards,
Karan Joshi

09 December 2010 In my opinion, the expense is allowable only if you have paid the TDS before filing of return.

09 December 2010 but the words used in sec 40 are 'due date as per 139(1)'..!!

so for the purpose of this section the words due date shall be interpreted as:
'due date' means due date as per section 139(1) or actual date of filing of return of income whichever is earlier.

am i correct ?

Also, can we go for revised return afterwards ?

please answer at the earliest

karan
