TDS Receivable on advance

[Ashiesh Prremji]

Dear Expert,

Please clear my doubt whether TDS receivable can be booked at the time when advance received after tds ?

If no Invoice issued and advance as received refunded can we take TDS benefit while computing income tax if deductor has deposited TDS which he deducted while advance payment only.

Thanks,

Credit for TDS can be taken in the AY in which income is assessable i.e. in the year in which invoice is raised. Please refer to Rule 37BA(3)

TDS deposited in current year needs to be carried forward to subsequent year in the ITR.

AI Summary

TDS credit timing: claim credit in the year income is assessable, not merely on receipt of advance.
TDS credit is available in the assessment year in which the income is assessable-the year the invoice is raised-and advance receipts without invoicing do not create an immediate entitlement to TDS credit; TDS deposited in an earlier year must be carried forward in the ITR and claimed when income becomes assessable, per Rule 37BA(3).
