The Torah tells us in Vayika, Perek Chof Gimmel, posuk chof zayin that the tenth day of Tishrei is Yom Kippur and one has to practice the five “inuyim.” One of the inuyim is not eating.
The Gemara in Pesachim, daf yud gimmel, amud bais and in Beitza, daf yud tes, amud bais says that one should not bring Kodoshim that is Korbanos that will become posul. Posul refers to whether there will be sufficient time to eat the korban before Pesach and since it included chametz, which can’t be eaten on Pesach, it will result in the korban being burned. In such a case one should not bring the korban.
