During the year 2008-09 we paid a sum of Rs. 9,00,000 to individual (suppose a contractor) and TDS deducted @2.06%. We also paid advance of Rs.2,00,000 (prepaid) for the year 2009-10 and TDS deducted @2.06%.
Now the query comes that tax should have been deducted @2.266% on the payment of Rs. 2,00,000 and also on payment of Rs 9,00,000 @[ 2.266-2.06].
Since the payment for the year 2008-09 does not exceeds Rs 10,00,000/- and amount of Rs. 2,00,000 pertains to next financial year.Pls suggest and if possible give reference of law,
