TDS needs to be deducted on the date of payment of credit whichever is earlier so if you book the liability before making actual payment you have to deduct TDS on the same.
Example:
Rent for the month of December---
Rent booked on 31st Dec but paid on 15th Jan----TDS to be deducted on 31st Dec as the booking date is before the date of payment.
So if rent booked on 31st Dec and TDS deducted on payment on 15th Jan there is a case of late deduction and the same attracts interest @ 1% p.m. or part thereof.
