The assesse who is a professional is maintaining the accounts on cash basis.
He received the Tds certificate on FEES debited by the company on 31st March 2008 for FY 07-08.
But he receive the payment on 30th June2008 and on the same date, he credited the income.
My Query is WHETHER THE ASSESSEE SHOULD INCLUDE THE INCOME IN THE YEAR OF FY 07-08 OR FY 08-09?
this is Audit Bhat, Bangalore in my opinion when you are following cash system of accounting the income should be accounted in the year 2008-09 and you can take the credit of tds for the same year.
In my opinion, assessee should include in the year of receipt.
TDS FOLLOWS THE INCOME
INCOME FOLLOWS THE ACCOUNTING SYSTEM
Hi Shikha,
As you have said that the assessee is following cash system of accounting and the basic principle of cash system is recognize it as income whentever you receive the cash. So the cash which is received during the year 08-09 should be recognized as the income of 2008-09.
