Dear Friends,

i dont fine any concept  "Accounting year" under Income Tax Act.

It only defines Assessment year and previous year.

As per Sec 2(7A)(9), “assessment year” means the period of twelve months commencing on the 1st day of April every year ; 

and as per section 3, For the purposes of this Act, “previous year” means the financial year immediately preceding the assessment year :

In case of TDS, the relevant is the previous year i.e the year ending on 31st March.

THerefore, the extended period of depositing of TDS applies only to provisions made on 31st of arch and not for provisions made on any other date. So in the given case, the date of deposit of TDS will be 7th of next month i.e 7th January.

I think there is no Accounting Year in Income tax..its Financial Year. pls correct if i'm wrong

i completely agree with Mr.Pankaj

Dear Vikash/ members,

It is nowhere in Income tax act define "Accounting year" income tax is concerned about 'previous year" and assessment year relevant to that previous year.“previous year” means the financial year immediately preceding the assessment year .

As per the text of Income tax rule,

(1) where the income by way of interest on securities referred to in section 193, or

the income by way of interest referred to in section 194A,

or the sum referred to in section 194C,

or the income by way of insurance commission referred to in section 194D, or

the payment to non-resident sportsmen or sports associations referred to in section 194E, or

the income by way of commission, remuneration or prize on sale of lottery tickets referred to in section 194G, or

the income by way of commission or brokerage referred to in section 194H, or

the income by way of rent referred to in section 194-I, or

the income by way of fees for professional or technical services referred to in section 194J, or

the interest or any other sum referred to in section 195, or

the income of a foreign company referred to in sub-section (2) of section 196A, or

the income from units referred to in section 196B, or

the income from foreign currency bonds or shares of an Indian company referred to in section 196C ,or

the income of Foreign Institutional Investors from securities referred to in section 196D,

is credited by a person to the account of the payee 'as on the date up to which the accounts of such person are made', then the due date of deposition of ITDS is within two months of the expiration of the month in which that date falls;

        (2)  in any other case, within one week from the last day of the month in which the deduction is made; 

So you can find that the accounting year will be the calender year or financial year (april to march) for this particular section will depend on the company policy.

Kindly share if there is any disagreement..
