whether retention is neither a expense nor payment but it is part of Construction contractor. at the time of booking bill of the conmtractor u will book the entry by rs. 1 lakh. As per TDS rules TDS levy at the time of cr. or advance payment whichever is early. thats why u r liable to deduct TDS on Rs.100000/- (Contract Value)
