Your query comes under different payment situations. As normal, if tax is deducted other than Government and the amount is credited to the account of the recipient as on the last date of the accounting year - time limit for deposit of tax within two months from the last date of athe accounting year. If any other case - within one week from the last date of the month in which tax deduction is made. When payer is the Government or when payment is made on behalf of the Government - time limit for deposit of tax is Same day.

Dear Your query is not very clear, However I will make an attempt to answer. According to my understanding the query is that if the amount is credited / paid on the last day of the FY then why the due date for deposit of TDs is different and from the TDS deducted and paid on the last day of other months of the FY. In this understanding I answer your query as following –

In this understanding I answer your query as following –
On the close of a FY while closing the accounts which are prepared on accrual basis, there may be various provisions required to be made or may various bills be submitted by venders etc. at a later dates for services provided during the FY for which the entity may not be aware. While closing books auditors may also ask for certain new entries to be booked on which TDS is required to be deposited. If the last date of TDS deposit in such cases is kept the the 7th day from the end of the month, will be a great hardship to the business. So to provide relief from such hardship, the tax law has provided in the statute itself that if the amount is credited on the last day of the year on which the accounts are drawn, in such case TDS deposit date would be 2 month from the last day of close of the year.
Hope this clarifies the issue. In case of any further clarification, please let mw know at my PM.

You have rightly understood my query but still i am not satisfied with the answers by the experts . there are two aspects one is deduction date , which is very clear that the tds has to be deducted on the date of credit/ payment , even crediting Suspense account , it is the question when we have to pay the tds to the GOVT. Law is very clear that if the amount is deducted (see rule 30) in any month the last date for deposit of tds within one week, from the end of the month in which amount is so deducted only exception is last day of F.Y. i.e. if the account is credited of the payee by the payer on last day of fy. Credit means by any means , if the payment is made on same date or not is the condition. it is normal practice that that first account is credited by bill submitted by payee only then the payment is made to payee, otherwise it would amount as advance payment to party which again would attract the tds deduction. in my opinion it does not make any difference if the amount is paid or not on last date , what is important is deduction on last date & credit of party account on last date of F.Y. The due date in both cases if payment is made on last date or in next F.Y. the due date should be two months from the date of deduction. i.e the last last date of F.Y.
