We have seen Journal Voucher entry for booking of expenses, through which TDS is deducted at the time of booking the expenses, before payment is made. In such case, the organization is to deposit TDS within the specified period as per Journal Voucher entry date even if the payment is not made for the expense.

In such case, you have to create a Purchase Voucher for the booking of expenses, instead of Journal Voucher, as explained next.

Forced TDS Deduction in Tally

There is exemption limit for each Type of Expenses. Tally normally assumes the exemption to be for one time Payment. So, when individual expenses are lower (than Exemption Limit) but it is likely that during the entire Financial Year, Tally will normally not deduct the TDS.

It is the liability of the payer to deduct TDS. So, where it is likely that Payment to a specific supplier on account of TFDS Deductible expenses are likely to exceed in a Financial Year, the payer will deduct the TDS in smaller value payments also.
