Company X Ltd avails services for repair of machinery on 30 March 2008. The service provider raises a bill dated 30 March 2008 on Co X Ltd for the services availed which is received by the Co X Ltd on 2 April. The Co. X Ltd after being fully satisfied with the services availed gives credit to the party on 12 May 2008 and makes the payment on 23 June 2008 and subsequently deposites the TDS on 12 July 2008. Is the policy followed by the Co X Ltd correct as per the Act? Can a Company book an expense of a date different from the date of Invoice received from the service provider for the same? What should be the correct accounting for these types of transactions?
