Important information about Sadaqah Fitr and Zakah
If you join the Jama’at after the Imam has performed the Ruku’ then do not utter the Takbirat, utter them when you offer the remaining part of your Salah (after the Imam performs Salam). Do not raise your hands when uttering the missed Takbirat in Ruku.’
If you join the Jama’at in the second Rak’at, then don’t utter the missed Takbirat of the first Rak’at now; instead, utter them when performing the remaining part of your Salah. Likewise, if you succeed in uttering the Takbirat of the second Rak’at with the Imam, it’s all right, otherwise, the same ruling as mentioned above with regard to the first Rak’at will apply. (Bahār-e-Shari’at, vol. 1, pp. 782; Durr-e-Mukhtār, vol. 3, pp. 64; Ālamgiri vol. 1, pp. 151)
