Year-end Provisions We often encounter situations where with reference to year-end or month-end provisions taxes are deducted only subsequently at the time of crediting the payee or on payment, which practice may invite payment of interest u/s 201(1A) and further also reporting by the tax auditor as tax deductible but not deducted. The Tribunal in (2024] 120 ITR (Trib) 137 (ITAT[Mum]) confirmed the order of the AO to the extent of charging of the interest having noted that the assessee was making a provision but he had only subsequently deducted tax at source on such payment.
