15 June 2010 Dear All,

It is mentioned in the IT Act that salary is taxable on due basis or paid basis whichever is earlier.

Now if some amount of salary i.e. for Rs. 25000 for the fy year 2010-11 is paid in the fy 2009-10 and also mentioned in form 16 and tds is also deducted in fy 2009-10, whether that amount to be shown in form 16 for fy 2010-11 or not as the tax has already been deducted and paid in the fy 2009-10.

pls suggest.

thanks
