29 September 2016 If you want to keep the books of accounts as per Income Tax Act, then 1st option is followed....with a small exception
For commission due
debit commission 1000
credit A 1000
------------------------
on the same day
debit A 50
credit TDS 50
for tds due to be deducted
-----------------------------------------
at the time of payment of tds within due date as specified in the income tax act
debit tds 50
credit 50
------------------------------------------------
at the time of payment to A
debit A 950
credit bank 950
----------------------------
please note if interest is paid on TDS, the same has to be accounted for accordingly.
