One person monthly salary is 1,00,000 and he works for 5 months in F.Y 2016-17. As per rule we need to deduct the salary. His salary has not paid till next F.Y 2017-18. His salary cleared in F.Y 2018-19 (April).

1. In which financial year we need to deduct the TDS for salary? is it in the year of actual service(F.Y 2016-17) was given or at the time of credit(F.Y 2018-19)?

2. In which year he need to file the TDS return? He has not received the money in F.Y 2016-17.
