Quick Summary
Yes according to accrual or Mercantile system of accounting expenses pertaining to FY 2020-21 must be booked in FY 2020-21 only, since your books are not finalized kindly book the same pn 31 03.2021 and make provision of TDS on the same date. TDS need to be paid on or before 30.04.2021 else it will attract 1.5% p.m. interest.
You should book the invoice on 31st march only and accordingly TDS payment due date will be 30th April. If not paid, interest liability will arise.
Sorry ! I didn't say that my books are not finalised. my books were closed on 10th April 2021.
please understand my query correctly and kindly respond correctly.
what if March dated invoice recieved in April or May 2021 if we had provision or if we don't have provison !

If provision is not made, it means books have not been closed correctly. In all cases, TDS liability would arise on 31st March. One can not say that the invoice is received 2-3 months late and hence no interest liability should arise.
Outof box, forget about closure of books. Please advice on current senarios,
Case1: March dated invoice recieved in April 2021, whn does tds Liability arise ? is it 30.04.2021 or 7th May 2021...Here we had Provision.
Case2: same like case1 but we don't have provison.
kindly advice

1) If provision is made, then obviously you would have deducted tax at source when the provisional entry was made.
2) If provision is not made, then such expense when accounted in the subsequent year would qualify to be a prior period expense and such expenses are specifically not allowed as deductions
Liability to deduct tax at source arises on the date when such transactions are accounted or on the date of payment, whichever is earlier.
Right , So now I'm Accounting in April 2021, so now I need to pay tax on before 7th May 2021? I'm I right
Other case we made provision but not TDS Liability, Should we need to pay interest here ?
Other case we made provision but not TDS Liability, Should we need to pay interest here ?
1) Yes, you are right. If you account the transaction in April, you may pay TDS before 7th May (provided no advance payment has been made)
2) If provision has been made but tax not deducted (on the date when provision was made), then you will have to pay interest @ 1% pm or part thereof from the date of provision to the date of actual deduction.
Ok, if provision for expense was made and provision for tds was not made, then tds liability would arise in march itself. accordingly due date will be 30th april. Hence, you need to pay interest if you failed to deduct tds on march.
So TDs
In the 2nd case, if you have not made provision, u can choose to deduct tds when u receive the invoice. (in ur case April 2021). accordingly due date will be07th May.
Okay noted understood.
Case1 we haven't made provision but as per statue we should make provison. okay in this case also if we would have made provison our duedate for making TDS payment will be 30th April 2021. I'm I correct ?
Now I will make an entry in books and will pay tds payment before 30th April 2021 does it attracts interest ? If Yes how ?
