Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies when to deduct Tax Deducted at Source (TDS) for invoices where goods are in transit. While the invoice might be dated one month and despatched the next, the consensus points towards the payment date as the crucial date for TDS deduction. Some suggest considering the earlier of booking/accruals or payment date, but the general practice and TDS return requirements lean towards the date of actual payment.

It depends on how you follow the accounting..If you consider the Tds in bill itself then invoice date relevant..

Generally payment date will be the relevant date for deducting Tds.. While making the payment only we cut the tds .. Even tds returns ask for date of payment.

So go by payment date instead of above two options
It's Payment date, u have to consider.
The tds section makes it clear booking/ accruals or payment whichever is earlier.

Kindly clarify that booking date or invoice date.

Tds liability araises only when you cut the tds . Generally tds deduction happens while making the payment.
