Some banks are deducting TDS
from Audit fee in the same FY for which we have been appointed as
auditors on the plea that they are deducting TDS, because they are
making provision for audit fee in the same FY. They say that Section
194J requires to do so.
Is it the right practice?
- On 31st March we were not the auditors of the bank.
- On 31st March Bank was not liable to pay audit Fee to us.
- On 31st March bank was not liable to credit this fees either in our account or any "suspense" account.
Thus
those bank deducting TDS from audit fee for FY 2014-15 on 31st March may be
totally wrong and against the law and liable to deduct in the year in
which "Professional services" taken.
