Credit of tds will be allowed in the year in which the related income is offered for taxation. The new return has coloumn to take care of such contingencies. Since the advocate is maintaining accounts in cash basis, the following entry is suggested.
31.3.2008 TDS dr Party Cr
05.04.08 Bank dr Party dr Fee Income Cr
Tds should be shown in the the FY 07-08 Return, but nothing will be claimed. It will be claimed in FY 08-09.
