It is not explicitly mentioned in the Income tax act. However if you see section 30 to section 36 speaks of specific deductions in respect of particular items.
SEction 37 speaks of general deduction. IT states that in order to claim deduction under section 37, expenditure
should be incurred in the previous year. (Very important)..
Prior Period expenditure is not incurred in the previous year at all. In fact it is incurred in earlier years and hence do not classify for deduction u/s. 37.
In view of this prior period expenditure is not allowed as deductible expenditure under the income tax act.
