02 June 2011 TDS to be deducted on payment or credit whichever is earlier. So if advance payment is made TDS needs to be deducted from such payment under respective section at respective rates.

02 June 2011 Thanks a lot Sir,but if bill is not received and if the concern insist on accounting the transaction only when bill is received from the party.Even then will this provision apply?Since its a contract work,the concern keeps receiving part payment and when the whole contract is completed they make the provisional entry for TDS.The reason they explain is that they are not aware of the amount to make entries in advance and hence they account TDS only at the time of final payment and keeps a separate track of their outstanding receipts.If its wrong,then pls. explain me the correct method.
Thankyou.

02 June 2011 In any case TDS is deductible at the time of payment or credit whichever is earliest.

So TDS dedutible at the time of making payment.

When u receive the bill then deduct TDS on the differential amount i. e. bill amount less advance amount on which TDS has already been deducted.
