Great question! Let me break it down simply:
**TDS deduction and deposit liability depends on when the amount is "credited" to the supplier.**
### What does "credited" mean here?
It means **when the amount becomes payable to the supplier** — practically, when you record the invoice in your books (i.e., debit expense and credit supplier).
### So in your case:
* Invoice date: 31 May 2019
* Invoice received/entered: 20 June 2019
You **credit** your supplier (and thus become liable for TDS) only when you enter the invoice in your books (20 June), NOT on the invoice date.
### Hence, TDS liability arises in June, not May.
---
### How to explain to the CA saying TDS is on invoice date?
You can refer to the Income Tax Act and CBDT clarifications which clearly state:
* TDS is to be deducted **at the time of credit of income or payment, whichever is earlier.**
* If payment happens after invoice date but invoice is entered in books only later, the credit happens on the date of entry, not invoice date.
Therefore, TDS should be deposited based on when you enter (credit) the invoice, which in your case is June.
---
**Summary:**
* "Credited" = entered in books (debit expense and credit supplier).
* TDS deposit based on when invoice is entered, not invoice date.
Does that clear it up? Want me to share any official references or circulars on this?
