In a few situations, exact quantum of expenditure may not be known due to negotiations being in progress and the like or certification of work carried out being not available etc. Nevertheless, for the purpose of accountal on accrual basis provisions are made in accounts on "estimate" basis.
Is it necessary that TDS should be remitted in such circumstances also especially during the course of year.
Intention of the statute in using word "suspense" appears to be to prevent evasion or avoidance in cases where Bill is received, admitted and passed but amount is credited to some liability account instead of Suppliers' account
I am aware, at our level, we shouldn't go by possible intention of statute but exactly by words used in statute.
Still, I would like to know from my professional colleagues actual practices
I HAVE RESERVATION ABOUT THE TERM "SUSPENSE". TO ME "SUSPENSE" MEANS "ANONYMOUS PERSONAL ACCOUNT". THAT IS CREDIT BEING GIVEN TO SUSPENSE A/C DUE TO UNCERTAINTY REGARDING CORRECT PARTY.
BUT HERE COMPANY DOES NOT GIVE CREDIT TO ANY PARTY RATHER IT CREDITS "PROVISION FOR EXP.".
WHETHER IT WILL ALSO BE COVERED BY TERM "SUSPENSE A/C".
FURTHER WHAT WILL HAPPEN IN CASE ESTIMATED AMOUNT OF PROVISION TURN OUT IN EXCESS OF ACTUAL AMOUNT ON RECEIPT OF INVOICES.

AS PER MY KNOWLEDGE - TDS ON PROVISION FOR EXPENSES IF YOU KNOW CORRECT PARTY TO WHOM PAYMENT TO BE MADE THEN YOU HAVE TO DEDUCT TDS OTHER WISE AT THE TIME OF PAYMENT YOU HAVE TO DEDUCT TDS
Tds is deducted only when bill is credited to party or payment is made to party whicher is ealier. In case of Provision for expenses, no need of TDS Deduction.
