25 March 2009 From the date of deduction you should make the payment within 7 days. and for the month March payment before 31st May.
In your case u have deducted TDS but not paid for the whole year, in that case the expenses is not allowable under IT Act.
Only after making payment of TDS you can claim expenses in that particular year when u have paid the amount

25 March 2009 All tds deducted upto February has to be paid by 31st March for allowance of expenditure. But any TDS dedcuted during the month of March, if paid before the due date of filing the return of income will be allowed as expenditure during the previous year.

25 March 2009 In your case, TDS of 20000 for 11 months, i.e. Rs.220000/- has to be paid with interest before 31st March. TDS of Rs.20000/- can be paid either by 7th April 2009 or before the due date of filing the return of income.
