As per AS 1 and Section 209 books of accounts are to be maintained on accrual basis. This means that expenses should be accounted for when they accrue or become due.
Accordingly, salary should be accounted for on a monthly basis even though payment for the same shall be made at the end of the year.
However, TDS u/s 192 will be deducted at the time of payment.
