Investments/deposits are qualified on payment basis – The aforesaid sums qualify for the purpose of this section, on ‘payment’ basis. It, therefore, follows that payments made under the aforesaid heads during the financial year are qualified for the purposes of this section, regardless of the fact that whether the payments relate to the previous year or years preceding or ensuing previous year.
