Section 194T inserted by Finance (No. 2) Act 2024, effective 1 April 2025, requires every firm (partnership / LLP) to deduct TDS at 10% on payments to a partner by way of salary, remuneration, commission, bonus or interest, where the aggregate exceeds ₹20,000 per FY per partner. Earlier such payments were outside the TDS net. Firms must apply for TAN if not already held, deduct at 10% and file Form 26Q quarterly. The deduction is allowable to the firm under Section 40(b) within statutory caps; mismatch with 26Q triggers Section 40(a)(ia) disallowance.

Section 192 obliges every employer paying salary chargeable under the head Salaries to deduct income-tax at the rate applicable to the employee's estimated total income for the financial year. The computation considers declared investments under Chapter VI-A, House Rent Allowance exemptions, standard deduction, and the slab regime opted (old or new under 115BAC). Average rate of tax determines monthly deduction. Employers must obtain Form 12BB substantiating claims, issue Form 16 by 15th June following the financial year, and deposit tax monthly through Challan ITNS-281. Mis-estimation triggers shortfall recovery in subsequent months.
View sourceSection 194C addresses payments made to resident contractors for carrying out any work including supply of labour, manufacturing or supplying products according to specifications using customer-supplied material, advertising, broadcasting, and transportation. Individual or HUF deductors come within scope only when subjected to tax audit during the preceding financial year. Single payment threshold is thirty thousand rupees with aggregate annual threshold of one lakh rupees. Rate stands at one percent when payment goes to individual or HUF contractor, two percent for other entities. Transporter declaration with valid PAN can secure nil deduction.
View sourceSection 194I imposes deduction on rent paid to residents exceeding two lakh forty thousand rupees per annum. Sub-classification distinguishes plant and machinery rent attracting two percent from land, building, furniture, or fittings rent attracting ten percent. Composite arrangements require allocation based on commercial substance. Individual and HUF payers come within scope only following tax audit applicability. Hotel accommodation arrangements depend on whether the underlying transaction constitutes rent or service. The Supreme Court ruling in Japan Airlines versus revenue clarified that landing and parking charges paid to airports do not constitute rent under this section.
View sourceSection 195 imposes a comprehensive deduction obligation on any person paying interest or any sum chargeable under the Act (other than salary) to a non-resident or foreign company. Unlike resident-payment provisions, no threshold applies; deduction triggers on the entire chargeable amount. Rates are governed by the Act read with the applicable Double Taxation Avoidance Agreement, whichever is more beneficial to the payee. The payer may approach the Assessing Officer under sub-section (2) for determining the taxable proportion. Furnishing Form 15CA-CB before remittance under Rule 37BB has become procedurally mandatory for accountability and audit trail.
View sourceSection 194A casts deduction obligation on persons paying interest other than interest on securities to residents. Banking companies, cooperative societies engaged in banking, and post offices apply a threshold of forty thousand rupees (fifty thousand for senior citizens) per branch per financial year. Other payers face a ten thousand rupees threshold. Standard rate equals ten percent of gross interest. Form 15G or 15H self-declarations from eligible recipients permit nil deduction. Inter-corporate deposits, recurring deposit interest, and unsecured loan interest fall within scope, while savings bank account interest expressly stands excluded from the ambit.
View sourceRule 37BB requires the remitter of any sum chargeable under the Act to a non-resident to furnish Form 15CA online, supported where applicable by a chartered accountant's certificate in Form 15CB. The framework operates through four parts of Form 15CA based on aggregate remittance value and chargeability. Notification 93/2015 expanded the exempt category list to thirty-three transactions covering imports, advance payments, and specified personal remittances where no certificate is required. Authorised dealers verify the acknowledgement before processing outward remittance under FEMA, creating a dual-layered compliance interface between tax law and exchange control.

Approvals, acknowledgements and queries for Chepauk businesses tie back to the Mylapore Division, so our TDS Calculation cadence accounts for how that office works. Statutory correspondence for Chepauk businesses routes through the Mylapore Division, so we align every TDS Calculation engagement to that jurisdiction from the start. Because PIN 600005 sits inside the Chennai South jurisdiction, the handling office for Chepauk stays consistent across years, which matters when filings or approvals span cycles.

Section-wise TDS computation for Chepauk deductors — Section 192 salary under New Regime default 115BAC, Section 194 rate card with FY 2025-26 thresholds, Section 195 cross-border with DTAA rate match, Section 197 Form 13 lower deduction certificate on TRACES.
Cross-border TDS for Chepauk payers — DTAA rate vs Section 115A Act rate evaluation, TRC and Form 10F validation under Section 90(4), Form 15CA Parts A/B/C/D filing and Form 15CB CA certificate for remittances above ₹5 lakh per Rule 37BB.
For payees whose actual tax liability is below the gross TDS rate, Form 13 is filed online on TRACES under Rule 28AA. Certificate issued payer-PAN-wise, valid for the FY — overriding Section 206AA 20% and Section 206AB doubled-rate.
CBDT Circular No. 13 of 2021 applied — buyer's 194Q TDS prevails over seller's 206C(1H) TCS. Post Finance (No. 2) Act 2024 only 194Q applies for FY 2025-26; turnover ₹10 crore preceding-year test reviewed each FY.
Section 194A applies 10% TDS on interest other than securities when the annual interest exceeds Rs 40,000 (banks) or Rs 5,000 (others); Rs 50,000 for senior citizens on bank deposits. The deductor must hold the depositor PAN to avoid Section 206AA.
Section 206AA escalates TDS to the higher of 20% or twice the section rate (or section rate itself) where the deductee fails to furnish PAN. Engineering Analysis principles and DTAA route documentation can neutralise the escalation for non-residents.
Where PAN becomes inoperative under Section 139AA-linked Notification 15/2023, Section 206AA 20% rate applies. CBDT Circular 6/2024 grants relief if PAN is reactivated within the prescribed cure window for transactions in the inoperative period.
Section 192(3) permits the employer to increase or decrease salary TDS during the year to make up any excess or shortfall. The catch-up is typically applied in March to align cumulative deduction with full-year liability and avoid Section 201 default.
Under Section 115BAC default regime applies from FY 2023-24 unless the employee opts out in writing under Section 115BAC(6) per CBDT Circular 4/2023. Rates are slabbed differently; the Section 192 average-rate computation uses the regime applicable.
Section 195A applies grossing-up when the deductor bears the tax on the foreign remittance. Per Transmission Corporation of AP v CIT (SC), the grossed-up base is the net payable divided by one minus the applicable rate, multiplied by the rate.

Reading this guide locally — Across Chepauk, around the MA Chidambaram Stadium catchment of Chepauk. Practitioners note that Chepauk businesses in the government arm find that businesses serve government clients under Section 51 GST TDS Section 194Q income-tax TDS and PFMS payment cycles.
The TDS regime in Chapter XVII-B can be grouped into seven structural buckets — salary (Section 192), interest and securities (Sections 193, 194A, 194LB, 194LBA, 194LBB, 194LBC), dividends (Section 194), contractor and professional payments (Sections 194C, 194J, 194H, 194I, 194-IA, 194-IB), specified payments to residents (Sections 194D, 194DA, 194E, 194EE, 194F, 194G, 194K, 194M, 194N, 194O, 194P, 194Q, 194R, 194S, 194T, 194BA), non-resident payments (Sections 195, 196A, 196B, 196C, 196D, 194LC, 194LD), exemptions and machinery (Sections 197, 197A, 198 to 206) and special anti-abuse measures (Sections 206AA, 206AB, 206CC, 206CCA). Each section has its own threshold, rate, deductee class and reporting form. The TDS calculation practitioner must map each underlying payment to the correct bucket, identify the lower threshold across competing sections (Section 206AA mandates 20% where PAN is not furnished), and apply the surcharge and education cess separately for non-resident deductees because residents bear cess as part of the rate while non-residents are subject to grossing-up under Section 195A in net-of-tax contracts.
Empirical analysis by the National Institute of Public Finance and Policy has consistently shown that TDS contributes approximately 35 to 40 percent of total direct tax collection in India. The policy rationale beyond revenue advancement is the introduction of a third-party reporting system — every TDS deduction creates a Form 26AS / Annual Information Statement entry against the deductee's PAN, which is reconciled with the deductee's own return of income. This reconciliation, mediated through TRACES and the e-filing portal, has been central to the gradual widening of the direct tax base post 2003 (introduction of e-TDS), 2013 (TRACES rollout) and 2020 (Form 26AS rebranded as Annual Information Statement with capital market, immovable property and high-value transaction reporting). The deductor is therefore an information intermediary in addition to being a collection intermediary.
Tax Deduction at Source has been part of Indian direct tax law since Section 18 of the Income Tax Act 1922, which required deduction on salaries, interest on securities and dividends. When the Income Tax Act 1961 consolidated the law, the TDS architecture was rewritten in Chapter XVII-B (Sections 192 to 206AB) and Chapter XVII-BB for Tax Collection at Source. The original policy purpose was twofold — to advance the time of tax collection for the exchequer (pay-as-you-earn) and to widen the base by bringing into the tax net persons who might otherwise escape filing. Each successive Finance Act has progressively expanded the catalogue of TDS sections, from a handful in 1961 to over forty distinct sections covering salaries, interest, dividends, rent, professional fees, contractor payments, purchase of goods, virtual digital assets and online gaming. The TDS calculation exercise that a deductor undertakes today is therefore a navigation across this dense statutory map, applying the correct section, threshold, rate, time of deduction and time of deposit for each underlying payment.
Section 194J applies to fees for professional services (defined in Explanation (a)), fees for technical services (defined in Explanation (b) cross-referencing Section 9(1)(vii)), royalty (Section 9(1)(vi)), non-compete fees (Section 28(va)) and director remuneration (other than salary). The rate is 10% generally, reduced to 2% for fees for technical services and royalty for cinematographic films and call-centre payments by Finance Act 2020. The threshold is ₹30,000 per nature-of-payment per financial year. The professional services category includes legal, medical, engineering, architectural, accountancy, technical consultancy, interior decoration, advertising, and other notified professions including company secretaries and information technology services. The director-remuneration sub-clause has no threshold and triggers on the first rupee paid as sitting fee or board commission outside salary.
Section 194I (Finance Act 1987) applies to rent on land, building, machinery, plant, equipment, furniture or fittings exceeding ₹2,40,000 per landlord per financial year — 10% for land/building/furniture and 2% for plant/machinery. Section 194-IB (Finance Act 2017) was inserted to bring individual and HUF tenants paying monthly rent above ₹50,000 within the TDS net at 5%, deductible only in the last month of tenancy or March (whichever is earlier) and filed through Form 26QC. The 194-IB regime does not require the individual tenant to obtain a TAN — PAN-based deduction suffices. Companies, firms and LLPs continue under Section 194I; the rate differential and form differential mean that landlords receiving rent from corporate tenants get 10% TDS while landlords receiving rent from individual tenants get 5% TDS, both creditable in Form 26AS.
Section 194-IA requires the buyer of immovable property other than agricultural land to deduct 1% TDS on the consideration where the consideration or stamp-duty value exceeds ₹50 lakh. Post Finance Act 2022, the deduction base is the higher of the sale consideration and the stamp-duty value (earlier the consideration alone). The deduction is on the entire consideration once the threshold is crossed (not on the differential). The buyer files Form 26QB challan-cum-statement within thirty days of the end of the month in which deduction is made, and issues Form 16B to the seller from TRACES. For joint buyers or joint sellers, the threshold and TDS are apportioned proportionate to ownership and each transaction filed separately. The Section 194-IA regime does not require the buyer to hold TAN — PAN of buyer and seller suffices.
Section 195(1) requires any person responsible for paying to a non-resident or to a foreign company any interest or any other sum chargeable under the provisions of this Act to deduct tax at the rates in force at the time of payment or credit, whichever is earlier. The threshold question is chargeability — only sums chargeable to tax in India under Section 5 (scope of total income) read with Section 9 (income deemed to accrue in India) attract Section 195. CBDT Circular 728/1995 clarified that the entire gross remittance is not the deduction base; rather, the deductor must ascertain whether the payment is chargeable, and if so, the appropriate proportion. The Supreme Court in GE India Technology Centre (2010) read the circular into the statute, holding that there is no TDS obligation if the payment is not chargeable to tax in India. The deductor in doubt must approach the AO under Section 195(2) for a determination of the appropriate proportion.
Where the non-resident payee is a tax resident of a country with which India has a Double Taxation Avoidance Agreement, the deductor must apply the lower of the domestic Section 195 rate (read with Part II of Schedule I to the Finance Act) and the treaty rate per the relevant DTAA Article. India's treaty network covers over 90 countries — the USA treaty (1989), UK treaty (1993), Singapore treaty (1994), Mauritius treaty (1982 with 2016 protocol), Netherlands treaty (1988), Germany treaty (1995), Japan treaty (1989), Australia treaty (1991). Article 10 of these treaties typically caps dividend withholding between 5% and 15%, Article 11 caps interest between 7.5% and 15%, Article 12 caps royalty and fees for technical services between 10% and 15% with the OECD and UN Model Tax Convention texts as the structural reference. The deductor must obtain Tax Residency Certificate under Section 90(4) and Form 10F under Rule 21AB to apply the treaty rate.
The Supreme Court decision in Engineering Analysis Centre of Excellence (2021) substantially recalibrated Section 195 application to software payments. The court held that consideration paid by Indian residents to non-resident software suppliers for the sale of computer software through End User Licence Agreements does not constitute royalty within the meaning of Article 12 of the relevant DTAAs because the payment is for a copyrighted article and not for the use of copyright. Consequently, such payments are not chargeable to tax in India in the absence of a Permanent Establishment, and no Section 195 obligation arises. The decision overruled a long line of Karnataka High Court and ITAT precedents that had treated all software payments as royalty. The deductor is now required to bifurcate software payments between EULA-shrink-wrap (no TDS) and bespoke development or copyright assignment (potentially royalty), with documentary support.
Rule 37BB Specified List (post Notification 93/2015) exempts 33 categories of remittance from the Form 15CB requirement, including remittances by individuals for personal travel, education, medical treatment, gift to non-resident relatives, family maintenance, donations approved under Section 80G, and certain business-related categories such as advance payment for imports cleared at customs. For these categories the remitter files only Form 15CA Part D with a declaration of the nature-of-remittance code. The Section 195 chargeability question is bypassed for Part D categories on a presumption that the remittance is non-taxable; however, the deductor's substantive Section 195 obligation continues — Part D is a procedural relief not a substantive exemption. Misuse of Part D for business-line remittances of royalty or FTS is a recurring CBDT audit theme.
Section 195(6) read with Rule 37BB of the Income Tax Rules 1962 requires the remitter of any sum to a non-resident or foreign company to furnish information in Form 15CA. Where the amount of remittance is taxable and exceeds ₹5 lakh during the financial year to a single payee, a certificate from a Chartered Accountant in Form 15CB is also required. Rule 37BB classifies remittances into Part A (taxable, up to ₹5 lakh in aggregate per financial year), Part B (taxable, with a Section 195(2)/195(3)/197 certificate from AO), Part C (taxable, exceeding ₹5 lakh and supported by Form 15CB), and Part D (non-taxable nature-of-remittance per Specified List of 33 codes in the rule). The 15CA/15CB regime was rationalised in 2016 to reduce compliance friction on small remittances and again in 2021 with a temporary manual filing window during the e-filing portal transition.
Form 15CB is a Chartered Accountant certificate confirming the chargeability of the remittance, the applicable section, the applicable DTAA Article, and the rate at which TDS is deducted. The certifying CA owes an independent professional duty under Section 288 of the Income Tax Act and Code of Ethics of the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India. The certificate is uploaded on the e-filing portal using the CA's DSC, and the unique 15CB acknowledgement number is referenced by the remitter in Form 15CA Part C. The CA must verify the nature of the underlying contract, the residency status of the payee, the DTAA position, the absence of Permanent Establishment, and the Section 9 chargeability. Recent ITAT and High Court decisions have held the certifying CA jointly responsible where the certificate is found to have been issued without due diligence.
