19 February 2009 Section 40(a) clearly disallows the amount of expenditure incurred on which TDS has not been made, has been made but not deposited to the credit of CG within the due date specified for deposit, proportionately deducted or deducted and partially deposited. In the last two cases, the amount of expenditure disallowed will be in proportion of TDS short-deducted or short-deposited.
Now even the credit for expenditure shall not be disallowed when the TDS made is deposited after the due date but before the date of filing of return of income.

so, in order to get the amount of expenditure allowed, one has to deposit the TDS before filing of return of income.
