16 November 2007 TDS is payable on credit or payment which ever is earlier.
It will not make any difference if the credit is made to some other account , in stead of the payeee. It will be treated as amount credited , and other consequences will follow.

18 November 2007 Sec194C and Other TDS sections have stated that,if at the year end i.e.on31.3.2007 expenses is debited and credited to payable a/c ,u have to deposit the tax within two months from the date of deduction viz within 31.5.

I assumed that on 31.3.u had debited the expenses a/c hence your due date for tds payment is 31.5.

suppose deduction is for 31.3.2007,u have to show in that financial year quarterly return viz for the quarter ending on 31.3.2007
