CIT(A), the assessee has relied upon the decision of ITAT Mumbai Bench in the case of Bapusaheb Nanasaheb Dhumal vs ACIT (ITA No. 6628 /Mum/2009 for the assessment year 2005-06) dated 25-062010. 2.5 The ld.

While on the other hand, a deduction who does not deduct the tax during the year (even though the same was deductible) and makes the deduction only during the last month will be an advantageous position, because according to argument of the appellant, in his case the respective payments will be allowed as deduction, even if the payment is made after the end of year, but before due date of filing of return. Obviously this can never be the intention of the legislature. This itself proves the fallacy of argument of the appellant. 3.6 As mentioned 2.6 Before us, the ld.

If the tax has been deducted in any month other then last month is the month of the previous year then the expenditure covered u/s 40(a)(ia) of the Act will not be admissible unless such tax was paid before the end of the previous year. In the instant case, it is undisputed that the assessee has deducted the tax at source in the last month. Therefore, disallowance was not required to be made u/s 40(a)(ia) of the Act.
