Deductibility of bonus disallowed where audit report under section 44AB records bonus unpaid before the reported payment.
Deductibility of bonus claimed under payment-linked rules where the audit report filed under section 44AB records the bonus as outstanding at the report date, while actual payment occurs after the audit report but before the ITR filing due date; the auditor advised that the deduction cannot be claimed because the bonus remained unpaid on the date of the audit report.
