               on which tax is deductible at source and such tax has not been deducted or, after deduction, has                  not been paid on or before the due date specified in section 139(1).

               Where in respect of any such sum, tax has been deducted in any subsequent year, or has been  deducted during the previous year but paid after the due date specified in sub-section (1) of section 139, such sum shall be allowed as a deduction in computing the income of the previous year in which such tax has been paid.

               Where an assessee fails to deduct the whole or any part of the tax in accordance with the provisions of Chapter XVII-B on any such sum but is not deemed to be an assessee in default under the first proviso to sub-section (1) of section 201, then, it shall be deemed that the assessee has deducted and paid the tax on such sum on the date of furnishing of return of income by the resident payee.

(iii)         any payment which is chargeable under the head “Salaries”, if it is payable—
