27 December 2012 but the bills related to the month of nov12,we made only entry in 2/12/12 when it come to the accounts dept,

BILL DATE 26/11/12
GRN DATE 27/11/12
Tally ENTRY DATE 2/12/12
PAYMENT DATE 8/12/12

27 July 2025 Hey! About the TDS deduction and deposit date question, hereโ€™s the practical approach as per Income Tax rules and common accounting practice:

**When to deduct TDS under section 194C (contract payment):**
TDS should be deducted **at the time of credit of payment to the contractor's account OR at the time of payment, whichever is earlier**.

In your case:

* Bill Date: 26/11/12
* GRN Date (Goods Receipt Note): 27/11/12
* Tally Entry Date: 02/12/12
* Payment Date: 08/12/12

The earliest credit/payment date is the **GRN Date 27/11/12** (usually the date when liability arises and is recorded in accounts), so TDS should be deducted on or before this date.

---

**When to deposit TDS:**
TDS deducted in a particular month should be deposited by the **7th of the next month**. So if TDS was deducted on 27/11/12, the deposit should be made by **7th December 2012**.

---

**In your scenario:**

* TDS deducted on 27/11/12 (when liability/entry arose).
* Payment made on 08/12/12.
* TDS should be deposited latest by 07/12/12.

---

**If deposit date is after 7th December (e.g., 07/01/13), it will be late and attract interest and penalties.**

---

**Summary:**

* Deduct TDS at earliest date of credit or payment (here, 27/11/12)
* Deposit TDS by 7th of next month (07/12/12)

---

If your payment date or entry date is after the bill date, it does not matter for TDS deduction โ€” the earlier of credit or payment governs.

---

If you want, I can help draft a stepwise guideline or even prepare a note for your accounts team to avoid confusion. Would you like that?
