Thank you for the reply. The expenses paid earlier were not advance payment. They were against part payment of the same bill whose balance will be paid now.
Just want to add that if you have booked the entire expenses in Sept'09 and credited the receipient in Sept'09 then you have to deduct at old rate as sec 194 says paid or credited whicever is earlier.
