Hey! About the TDS deduction and deposit date question, hereโs 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.
