In which year should I consider it ? Presently while filling returns or next year when. Actual payment is received

Firstly decide whether you follow Mercantile system of accounting or cash, if Mercantile then you need to show all invoices irrespective of payment received or not against such invoice, if follow cash then whatever you receive will shown as income, further in case follow cash system you need to carry forward the amount of tds deducted on invoices you don't claim as receipt for the year..

I am the tax payer and have not maintained balance sheet..the section says gross receipts..not sure how that is considered by it department..since TDs is deposited this year

As said by Mr.Abhay...please decide the method of accounting first and follow it consistently...
