30 July 2009 TDS is to be paid on the basis of payment or booking whichever is earlier. In your case u seems to have booked expenses in respective Prev. years and which does not qualify for deduction of tax in same PY. Hence even if you make payment for full and final settlement you are not supposed to deduct TDS
