TDS under s. 194C is attracted at the earlier of credit or payment. Since the liability for external development charges arose on credit in AY 2012-13, any default under s. 201(1) and interest under s. 201(1A) could be fastened only for AY 2012-13; the assessee could not be treated as an assessee-in-default for AY 2014-15 for the same amounts.
