14 April 2009 Hi,

The provision for expenses (on which TDS is applicable) as on March 31st, 2009 amounting to Rs. 1000/ - and the entry passed as :-

Expenses A/c 1000/-
To Outstanding Expenses 1000/-

No TDS was deducted at the time of making provision nor TDS was deposited before May 31st, 2009.

The Actual invoice amounting to Rs. 800/ - was received in July 2009 and tds on the same was deducted and deposited on or before August 7th, 2009 after reversing the provision amounting to Rs. 800/ -.

Secondly, amount of Rs. 200/- was excess provision which is written back.

Following questions have come up: -

1. The TDS amount deducted and deposited on or before August 07th, 2009 and considering tds amount in AY 2010 -11, would it be right approach !

2. The amount written back amounting to Rs. 200/ - provided in FY 0809, is TDS to be deducted on the same.

3. Is the above mentioned approach be the right apporach with respect to tds provison and 40(a)(ia) ?

14 April 2009 1.No.
The TDS should have been deducted as on 31st March and paid to government treasury by 31st May and if not paid it is to be with 1% interest p.m thereafter.
Anyhow since you have paid it before filing of return, the expense will not be disallowed.
2.Adjustment of excess TDS on 200/- to be done if tds is done of accrual basis i.e on 1000 at 31/3.
3.No.
Answer is combination of 1 & 2.
