Respected Colleagues,
In the books of client, business started in dec 2024 and office rent 78000/- per month till March total rent Rs 312000/- , No turnover in the business in FY 2024-25, So now we want to file Tax audit report u/s 44AB(e) to carry forward our business expenses to next year,

Clause 21(b) – Disallowance for Non-Deduction of TDS (Section 40(a)(ia))
Applicability: Disallowance arises only if the amount is paid or payable to a resident on which TDS was required to be deducted but has not been deducted/paid.
In your case, rent is only accrued and payable, not paid.
Since no payment was actually made during FY 2024-25, the "Date of Payment" column should be left blank or marked as "Not Applicable" (N/A) for those rent entries.
Clearly mention in your working/note to auditor that the rents were outstanding as at 31.03.2025 and were NOT paid during FY 2024-25 and hence, no TDS was deducted.
