From a Pvt Ltd company I have made a Salary payment of around Rs. 6 lac in parts to a single employee after deducting T.D.S in F.Y. 2018-19 from which Rs. 4 lacs was shown as a Salary expense and Rs. 2 lacs was shown as Advance Salary given in that year in the company's Books of accounts.
Can I book this Advance Salary as company's salary expense in F.Y. 2020-21 to reduce Profit.
The counter party has already shown this entire salary amount of Rs. 6 lac as income received in his books of accounts in F.Y. 2018-19 while filing his Income tax return.
