Disallowance of prior period expenses - Deduction of TDS in the current year - it is settled law that deduction can be permitted in respect of only those expenses which are incurred in the relevant accounting year for the purpose of computing yearly profits and gains. We find that the claim of the assessee on the above two heads of expenses pertaining to earlier period cannot be accepted as it has crystallised in the year and the bills were raised in the earlier assessment year. Being so, the said expenditure cannot be allowed as deduction in this assessment year, which is prior period expenses and first proviso to section 40(a)(ia) has no application in the present case. - AT
