As per my knowledge there is no need to post separate entry at the end of the year as you already pass the entry i.e.

Expenses A/c Dr 38417

Prepaid Exp. Dr. 192083

To Party A/c 206758

To TDS 23742

As we are following the accounting assumption accruals so the above entry is correct & there is no need to pass separate entry at the end of year. Regarding the Cr. Balance of party it will be nil after 30 postdated chqs. We are not concern with what we are paying to party in current year. (It will consider when the books are maintained on cash basis system.)

If am wrong please correct it……………..
