Your appellant submits that provisions of section 1294A are not applicable in the case of your appellant. Your appellant has already deducted and paid the TDS on yearly basis in accordance with provisions of law. Therefore, the order passed by the Assessing Officer be held null and void ab initio and be cancelled. 3. The learned Assessing Officer and CIT(A) has erred in treating the proforma entry of provision of interest accrued on 30-9-2001 made only for ascertaining bank s profit and loss for the half yearly ended on 30-9-2001 as being covered by proviso to section 194A of the Income-tax Act. 4. The learned Assessing Officer and CIT(A) has failed to appreciate that the entry passed by the bank was not for any interest due and payable on any deposit and that entry was reversed on very next day, i.e., on 1-10-2001 nullifying the proforma entry made on 30-9-2001. 5.

Prior to the insertion of the Explanation , deduction of tax at source was to be made at the time of payment or credit to the account of the payee. With a view to prevent postponement of liability relating to such deduction of tax at source, the amendments were made to these section. As section 194A stands today tax will be deducted at source on accrual of interest at the end of the accounting year, or at the time of payment, or at the time of credit to the account by whatever name called in the books of account of the payer, whichever is earlier. 7.3 By not deducting TDS at the time of making a provision, the appellant has violated the Explanation to section 194A of the Income-tax Act. I therefore, hold that the order passed by the Assessing Officer treating the appellant as an assessee in default, under section 201 read with section 194A of the Income-tax Act is correct and deserves to be sustained. The order is therefore, confirmed. However, the Assessing Officer is directed to give credit for TDS deducted at the year end after verification of accounts." .....
