The information required under clause 21(i)(B) is for the purpose of allowing the deduction of such sum as per the first proviso to section 43B in respect of payments made after the end of the previous year but before the due date of filing return of income.
As such, reporting under clause 21(i)(B) is required only in respect of the amounts referred to in clauses (a), (c), (d) or (e) of section 43B which were incurred in the previous year but were outstanding as at the end of the relevant previous year.

*(i) In respect of any sum referred to in clause (a), (c), (d) (e) or (f) of section 43B, the liability for which:

(A) pre-existed on the first day of the previous year but was not allowed in the assessment of any preceding previous year and was

(a) paid during the previous year

(b) not paid during the previous year

(B) was incurred in the previous year and was

(a) paid on or before the due date for furnishing the return of income of the previous year under section 139(1)

NOTE: Information given under clause 21(i) (B) is only up to ……… and does not include any payment which the assessee may make subsequently before the due date of filing of the return of income under section 139(1).

The payment made subsequent to that date but before the date of filing
of the return, will still be eligible for deduction under section 43B.
Hence the tax auditor should advise the assessee to include necessary evidence of payments made after the signing of the tax audit report but before the due date of filing. This evidence may also be in the form of a certificate from a chartered accountant obtained specifically for this purpose - Circular No.601 dated 4.6.1991 vide Appendix XVII.

Hey Geeta,

First of all what to be reported, is any statutary payment (like PF, ESI, TDS) not made,on or before the due date u/s 139(1), payment which are made before the date mentioned in 139(1), may be certified by the management and details may not be furnished.

practicaly what I do for Clause 21(i)B is I provide details for statuary payment due on the first day of previous year, its subsequent payment in the previous year, liability unpaid during the previous year,

further details of liability incurred during the relevant previous year and remained unpaid on the return filling date shall also be furnished.

show these details in an annexure format for better representation and clear understanding... 

Hope this will help you

Thankyou,

Regards

Ashish sharma
