Quick Answer

How is TDS on salary computed under Section 192 in Karthik Nagar Nerkundram, Chennai?

Section 192 obliges the employer to deduct tax at the average rate of income-tax computed on the basis of the rates in force on the estimated income of the employee under the head 'Salaries' for the financial year. The employer collects declarations of other income, eligible deductions and house property loss in Form 12BB at the start of the year, picks the slabs applicable to the regime opted (default New Regime under Section 115BAC from FY 2023-24), divides the estimated annual tax by the number of months remaining and deducts that average each month. Surcharge and Health & Education Cess at 4% are loaded into the average rate.

People Also Ask — TDS Calculation in Karthik Nagar Nerkundram
What is the TDS rate on salary under Section 192?
Section 192 deducts at the average rate of income-tax computed on the estimated annual salary under the regime opted by the employee. New Regime under Section 115BAC is default from FY 2023-24. Slabs run 0% to 30% with Section 87A rebate up to ₹25,000 for income up to ₹7 lakh. Surcharge and 4% Health & Education Cess loaded into the average rate. Form 12BB at start of FY and Form 12BAA from 1 October 2024 capture deductions and other TDS / TCS to be netted off.
When is Form 15CB compulsory for foreign remittance?
Form 15CB CA certificate is required where aggregate remittance to a non-resident in a FY exceeds ₹5 lakh and the sum is chargeable to tax in India. It is not required for the 33 specified non-taxable nature codes in Rule 37BB (Form 15CA Part D), nor for taxable remittances ≤ ₹5 lakh per FY (Form 15CA Part A), nor where AO order under Section 195(2) / 195(3) / 197 is held (Form 15CA Part B route).
How does the Section 197 lower deduction certificate work?
Section 197 read with Rule 28AA permits the assessee to apply in Form 13 online on TRACES for a certificate authorising lower / nil TDS where actual tax liability is below the gross deduction rate. AO examines income projection, prior assessments and advance tax. Certificate issued payer-PAN-wise valid for the FY (or part); typically processed in 30-45 days. Section 206AA 20% floor and Section 206AB doubled-rate are bypassed by a valid 197 certificate.
What is Section 206AA higher rate for missing PAN?
Section 206AA mandates TDS at the higher of (a) section rate, (b) rate in force, or (c) 20% where the deductee fails to furnish PAN. For non-residents, Rule 37BC carves out an exception where name, address, country of residence, TRC and TIN are furnished — DTAA rate then survives. For resident payees the 20% floor is unwaivable; obtain PAN before the deduction event.
How is Section 194Q interaction with Section 206C(1H) resolved?
CBDT Circular No. 13 of 2021 dated 30-06-2021 clarifies that where both Section 194Q (buyer's 0.1% TDS above ₹50L on purchase of goods) and Section 206C(1H) (seller's 0.1% TCS) apply on the same transaction, 194Q prevails. Finance (No. 2) Act 2024 has abolished Section 206C(1H) effective 1 April 2025 — only Section 194Q now applies for FY 2025-26 and onward.
What did the Supreme Court hold in Engineering Analysis on software TDS?
Engineering Analysis Centre of Excellence Pvt. Ltd. v. CIT (2021) 432 ITR 471 held that consideration paid for use / resale of standardised computer software through EULA to a non-resident manufacturer / supplier is not 'royalty' under Article 12 of the relevant DTAAs read with Section 9(1)(vi). It is a sale of copyrighted article, not transfer of copyright. No Section 195 TDS obligation arises on cross-border shrink-wrap software where DTAA narrower definition applies.
What is the Section 234E late-fee for delayed TDS return?

Section 234E levies Rs 200 per day for delayed TDS return filing, capped at the total TDS deductible for the quarter under the proviso. Post-1 June 2015 amendment to Section 200A authorises the AO to compute the fee mechanically.

What is the Section 271C penalty for non-deduction of TDS?

Section 271C imposes penalty equal to the tax not deducted or not paid. Section 273B reasonable-cause defence is available where the deductor acted bona fide; ITAT Chennai has accepted the defence in characterisation-dispute fact patterns.

When does Section 271H penalty apply on TDS returns?

Section 271H imposes Rs 10,000 to Rs 1,00,000 penalty for failure to file the TDS return. The Section 271H(3) proviso waives the penalty if the return is filed within one year of due date with tax and Section 234E fee discharged.

What is the Section 201 assessee-in-default order?

Section 201(1) treats the deductor as an assessee-in-default for failure to deduct or pay TDS. Section 201(1A) levies interest at 1% per month for non-deduction and 1.5% per month for late payment. Appeal lies under Section 246A.

How do you appeal a Section 201 TDS default order?

Appeal lies to CIT(A) under Section 246A within thirty days; further appeal to ITAT under Section 253. Section 248 provides a special route for the payer who has borne the tax to challenge the tax liability after deduction.

What is the Section 248 deductor-relief appeal?

Section 248 permits the deductor who has borne the tax under Section 195A to file an appeal denying liability to deduct. It is the typical route for foreign-remittance characterisation disputes where the gross-up burden falls on the Indian payer.

What is TDS calculation and why does Indian tax law require it

Historical origin under the Income Tax Act 1922

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.

Distinction between TDS and TCS

TDS and Tax Collection at Source (TCS) are conceptually distinct though often conflated in commercial practice. TDS under Chapter XVII-B is imposed on the payer at the time of payment or credit, whichever is earlier, and the payer holds the deducted amount in trust for the government. TCS under Chapter XVII-BB is imposed on the seller at the time of sale of specified goods or services, and the seller collects an additional amount over the sale price from the buyer. Section 206C(1H) on sale of goods above ₹50 lakh and Section 194Q on purchase of goods above ₹50 lakh were enacted in close sequence (Finance Acts 2020 and 2021) and overlap commercially — the statutory hierarchy in Section 206C(1H) proviso resolves the overlap in favour of Section 194Q where both could apply. The economic incidence of TDS rests on the deductee (whose tax liability is reduced by the deducted amount), whereas TCS is an additional cash outflow for the buyer at the point of purchase, subsequently claimable as advance tax.

Sections covered and structural taxonomy

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.

TDS deposit timing and challan compliance

Form 16A and Form 16 issuance

Rule 31 requires the deductor to issue tax certificates to deductees — Form 16 for salary by 15 June of the following financial year and Form 16A for non-salary on a quarterly basis within fifteen days of the due date of the quarterly return. Form 16A is generated from TRACES with the deductor's DSC; manually-prepared Form 16A is no longer recognised. The certificate captures the deductee PAN, deductor TAN, section under which deducted, amount paid, amount deducted, challan reference numbers and Annual Information System linkage. The deductee uses these certificates to claim credit for TDS in the return of income; absent the certificate, the deductee can still claim credit from Form 26AS but is required to reconcile any mismatch.

Section 200 deposit timeline

Section 200(1) read with Rule 30 requires the deductor to deposit the deducted tax to the credit of the central government within prescribed timelines — for government deductors on the same day where deduction is made without challan, and on the seventh day of the following month for non-government deductors and challan-based deposits. For March deduction the deposit deadline is 30 April. The deposit is made through Form ITNS 281 (renamed e-pay tax challan post the e-filing portal revamp in 2021). Section 201(1A) imposes interest at 1% per month from the date on which deduction was deductible to the date on which deduction is made, and 1.5% per month from the date of deduction to the date of deposit — a two-stage interest mechanism distinguishing delay in deduction from delay in deposit.

Quarterly e-TDS return filing

Section 200(3) read with Rule 31A requires the deductor to file quarterly statements in Form 24Q (salary), Form 26Q (resident non-salary), Form 27Q (non-resident) and Form 27EQ (TCS) by the last day of the month following the quarter end — 31 July, 31 October, 31 January and 31 May (for the fourth quarter where the extended deadline accommodates Form 16 issuance). Filing is through the TRACES portal or via authorised TDS Return Preparation Utility software. Section 234E imposes late-filing fee of ₹200 per day from the due date to the date of filing, capped at the total TDS amount. Section 271H imposes penalty between ₹10,000 and ₹1,00,000 for non-filing or filing of incorrect information beyond one year.

TDS calculator methodology and edge cases

Inclusion or exclusion of GST in TDS base

CBDT Circular 23/2017 clarified that for TDS deducted under Section 194-I (rent), 194-C (contractor), 194-J (professional fees) and other Chapter XVII-B sections, where the GST component is shown separately in the invoice, TDS is to be deducted only on the value of services excluding GST. The exception is Section 194-IA (immovable property purchase) and Section 194-IB (rent by individual) where the deduction base is the gross consideration including any taxes. For Section 195 the position depends on the contract — if the invoice from the non-resident shows IGST separately under reverse charge, TDS is on the foreign-currency value of services excluding the IGST. Misapplying inclusion-of-GST is a common calculator error that inflates the TDS by 18%.

Surcharge and cess application

Surcharge applies on TDS only for non-resident deductees (Section 195) and for specific resident categories (Section 192 salary above the surcharge threshold). The surcharge slabs for non-residents are 10% (income ₹50 lakh to ₹1 crore), 15% (₹1 crore to ₹2 crore), 25% (₹2 crore to ₹5 crore) and 37% (above ₹5 crore, capped at 25% for capital gains and dividend post Finance Act 2023). Health and Education Cess at 4% applies on the tax-plus-surcharge amount for non-residents. For resident deductees under Sections 194 series, the rate stipulated already builds in cess and no separate cess is added. A correctly built calculator therefore branches on residency status and section to apply the right combination.

Threshold computation across financial year

TDS thresholds operate on a financial-year basis but apply differently across sections — Section 194C threshold is ₹30,000 single payment or ₹1,00,000 aggregate; Section 194J is ₹30,000 per nature of payment per year; Section 194I is ₹2,40,000 per landlord per year; Section 194A is ₹40,000 (banks) or ₹5,000 (others). A correctly built TDS calculator engine maintains a running ledger per deductee per section per nature-of-payment and triggers deduction once the threshold is breached, applying the rate to the entire payment that breaches the threshold (not the differential). Section 194Q on purchase of goods uses a per-seller annual aggregate, while Section 194-O on e-commerce participant uses a per-participant annual aggregate.

TDS default consequences and Section 201

Section 40(a)(ia) disallowance

Section 40(a)(ia) of the Income Tax Act disallows 30% of the expenditure on which TDS was deductible but not deducted, or was deducted but not deposited within the due date of return filing under Section 139(1). The disallowance is added back to the deductor's taxable income, effectively transferring the deductee's income tax liability to the deductor through the disallowance route. The deductor can claim the disallowance back in the year in which TDS is subsequently deducted and deposited (subject to time-limit). Section 40(a)(ia) interacts with Section 201(1) — they are independent consequences but stem from the same failure to deduct or deposit, and the deductor can face both simultaneously.

Limitation period for default proceedings

Section 201(3) provides limitation for passing an order treating the deductor in default. For a deductee who is a resident, the order under Section 201(1) cannot be passed beyond seven years from the end of the financial year in which the payment was made (post Finance Act 2014). For a non-resident deductee (Section 195 default), no limitation period was provided until Finance Act 2022 introduced a six-year limitation from the end of the financial year in which payment was made. The limitation applies only to the principal tax determination; interest under Section 201(1A) continues to accrue post-limitation and is not extinguished by limitation expiry on the principal.

Compounding and penalty waiver routes

Section 273A and Section 273AA provide the Principal Commissioner the power to waive or reduce penalty under Section 271C (TDS non-deduction) where the deductor establishes good faith, voluntary disclosure prior to detection, and full cooperation with the Department. Section 279(2) provides for compounding of prosecution under Section 276B (failure to pay deducted tax) on payment of compounding charges per CBDT guidelines (Circular dated 16 September 2022 revised compounding charges). The compounding route is increasingly used by corporate deductors to close prosecution exposure on legacy TDS defaults discovered during M&A due diligence and DGI&CI investigations.

By Industry

Industry-specific patterns in Karthik Nagar Nerkundram

How the local trade mix shapes this — Across Karthik Nagar Nerkundram, the business activity radiating outward from Karthik Nagar Park and nearby commercial pockets.

Healthcare & Hospitals
Common issue: Hospitals retain visiting consultants under revenue-share or fixed-monthly engagements. The legal characterisation drives TDS — employer-employee under Section 192 (slab-rate) versus professional services under Section 194J at 10%. Hospitals often default to 194J to avoid payroll administration, but ITAT decisions (Apollo Hospitals, Yashoda Healthcare) have held that exclusive doctors with hospital infrastructure, fixed hours and supervision are employees attracting Section 192.
How we handle it: Audit consultant contracts on the Ramprakash factors — exclusivity, equipment provided, control over patient roster, fee structure — and segregate the consultant pool into Section 192 (exclusive, infrastructure-dependent) and Section 194J (non-exclusive visiting). For Section 192, compute average tax rate including House Rent Allowance, Section 80C/80D and standard deduction.
Education & EdTech
Common issue: Educational institutions and EdTech firms pay external faculty per lecture or per module and deduct Section 194J at 10% on the full honorarium. Where the contractor is a sole-proprietor with annual receipts below ₹50 lakh, presumptive Section 44ADA applies and the deductee carries lower effective tax; over-deduction creates refund cycles. EdTech platforms paying royalty to course authors also miss the Section 194-O regime when the author is also the platform-listed seller.
How we handle it: Allow deductees to file Section 197 lower-deduction certificate applications in Form 13 well in advance of the financial year and apply the AO-determined rate (often 2-5%) for the certificate validity. For author royalty arrangements distinguish Section 194J (services) from Section 194-O (e-commerce sale) by the legal substance of the transaction.
Manufacturing - Domestic Procurement
Common issue: Manufacturers crossing ₹10 crore turnover in the previous year became Section 194Q deductors from 1 July 2021 — 0.1% TDS on purchase of goods from a resident seller above ₹50 lakh per seller per year. Section 206C(1H) on the seller side at 0.1% for similar thresholds creates an overlap; the statutory hierarchy (Section 194Q overrides 206C(1H) where both apply) is frequently inverted.
How we handle it: Map every supplier against the Section 194Q/206C(1H) decision tree using the prior-year turnover test for both parties; communicate the 194Q deduction at the start of the financial year so the seller suppresses 206C(1H) collection; maintain a per-vendor TDS ledger reset on 1 April each year to track the ₹50 lakh threshold.
Import & Export Trade
Common issue: Importers remitting overseas for raw materials, capital goods, royalties, technical know-how and management fees are required to file Form 15CA (self-declaration by remitter) and Form 15CB (CA certificate of taxability) under Section 195 read with Rule 37BB. The certificate is frequently obtained on a presumption that the entire remittance is non-taxable because the foreign vendor has no Permanent Establishment, ignoring the Section 9(1)(vii) Fee for Technical Services charging clause and CBDT Circular 728/1995 chargeability framework.
How we handle it: For each remittance test (i) Section 5/9 chargeability in India; (ii) DTAA Article applicable (royalty / FTS / business profits); (iii) availability of make-available test under restrictive treaties (USA, UK, Singapore, Netherlands); and (iv) need for Section 195(2) determination from AO. File 15CA Part D only for the listed Rule 37BB exempt nature-of-remittance codes.
Media & Entertainment
Common issue: Production houses, streaming platforms and broadcasters pay technicians, writers, music composers, voice artists and post-production studios under composite contracts that mix professional fees, royalties for assignment of copyright and reimbursable expenses. The default Section 194J (10%) treatment misses that copyright assignment payments may attract Section 194J at 2% under the lower-rate carve-out for royalty on cinematographic films and call-centre services inserted by Finance Act 2020.
How we handle it: Bifurcate each contract into professional fees (194J at 10%), royalty for cinematographic film (194J at 2%) and reimbursements (no TDS where pure cost recovery with documentary support). For non-resident performers and athletes invoke Section 194E at 20% as a distinct charge from Section 195.
Case Studies

Anonymised engagements we have handled

Real client situations (names changed); illustrative of the kind of work we do.

Section 195 management feesIT Services

Section 195 management-fee remittance held non-FTS under India-UK DTAA

Issue: A Chennai IT services company remitted GBP 24,000 to its UK parent as management-fee allocation. The AO sought 10% TDS treating the payment as FTS under Section 9(1)(vii) and raised Section 201 default of Rs 2,68,000. The make-available test under the India-UK DTAA Article 13 was contested.
Approach: We produced the inter-company services agreement showing that the UK parent provided routine back-office support without transferring any technical knowledge that the Indian subsidiary could deploy independently. The make-available test failed under the DTAA. Form 15CB was issued at nil rate.
Outcome: Section 201 default deleted at first-appeal stage; no Section 271C; CBDT Circular 333 line of reasoning on DTAA-Act interplay applied; banker continued at nil for recurring management-fee tranches.
Form 15CA Section 271ITrading

Form 15CA Part C deferred till 15CB issuance avoided Section 271I exposure

Issue: A Chennai trader was preparing to remit USD 36,000 to a Thai supplier for trade-fair participation. The trader banker insisted on Form 15CA Part C since the remittance exceeded Rs 5 lakh and was characterisable as taxable; the trader had filed only a Part D self-undertaking. Section 271I exposure of Rs 1 lakh per default loomed.
Approach: We instructed the CA to issue Form 15CB applying the India-Thailand DTAA business-profits no-PE position and supporting the nil-rate characterisation. Form 15CA Part C was filed referencing the 15CB acknowledgement; the earlier Part D was withdrawn before remittance.
Outcome: Remittance processed at nil rate; Section 271I exposure of Rs 1 lakh avoided through pre-remittance regularisation; no Section 201 consequence; banker accepted the Part C for two subsequent tranches.
Section 9 retrospectiveManufacturing

Hyderabad Industries principle applied to challenge retrospective Section 9 trigger

Issue: A Chennai chemical manufacturer was issued a Section 201 notice for FY 2017-18 on a Section 195 remittance to a German technology vendor, applying a retrospective explanation inserted by the Finance Act 2020. The vendor payment had been characterised as business-profits at the time of remittance.
Approach: We relied on the Hyderabad Industries v UoI principle that retrospective legislation cannot revive obligations that were not in force at the time of the deduction trigger, and that the deductor compliance must be tested under the law as it stood on the date of remittance. The CIT(A) was persuaded.
Outcome: Section 201 default deleted on the as-on-date law principle; no Section 271C; Form 27Q remained at the nil rate originally filed.
Section 192 average rateIT Services

Section 192 average-rate dispute resolved via proof-of-investment ledger

Issue: An IT services employer received a Q4 Form 24Q intimation alleging short-deduction on a senior engineer salary because the projected Section 80C and Section 80D deductions in earlier quarters were not realised in the Form 16 Part B. The default ran to Rs 62,400 with Section 234E exposure.
Approach: We produced the proof-of-investment ledger showing that the employee had subsequently submitted alternative tax-saving proofs in March, that the Section 192(2A) average-rate calculation had been re-done in the March payroll, and that the cumulative deduction by year-end matched the actual annual liability.
Outcome: Short-deduction default reduced to nil after the corrected Annexure II was uploaded; Form 16 Part A reissued; no Section 271C consequence; Section 234E exposure dropped.

TDS Calculation FAQ — Karthik Nagar Nerkundram

Common questions from Karthik Nagar Nerkundram clients. Call 9566-068-468 for specific queries.

Section 192 obliges the employer to deduct tax at the average rate of income-tax computed on the basis of the rates in force on the estimated income of the employee under the head 'Salaries' for the financial year. The employer collects declarations of other income, eligible deductions and house property loss in Form 12BB at the start of the year, picks the slabs applicable to the regime opted (default New Regime under Section 115BAC from FY 2023-24), divides the estimated annual tax by the number of months remaining and deducts that average each month. Surcharge and Health & Education Cess at 4% are loaded into the average rate.
Form 12BB is the statement of particulars of claims by an employee for deduction of tax under Section 192, prescribed under Rule 26C. It captures HRA evidence (rent receipts, landlord PAN where rent exceeds ₹1 lakh per annum), LTA, home loan interest with lender details, and Chapter VI-A claims (80C, 80D, 80E etc.). It must be submitted to the employer before the end of the FY — typically before the December-January payroll cut-off so that the employer can adjust TDS in the residual months of the FY.

Section 194Q (effective 1 July 2021) requires a buyer with turnover above ₹10 crore in the preceding FY to deduct TDS at 0.1% on purchase of goods from a resident seller in excess of ₹50 lakh per FY. Section 206C(1H) requires a seller with turnover above ₹10 crore to collect TCS at 0.1% on sale of goods above ₹50 lakh. Where both provisions apply on the same transaction, CBDT Circular No. 13 of 2021 dated 30-06-2021 clarifies that 194Q (buyer's TDS) prevails and 206C(1H) (seller's TCS) need not be applied. Finance (No. 2) Act 2024 abolished 206C(1H) effective 1 April 2025 — only 194Q now applies.
Section 195 applies to any sum payable to a non-resident or foreign company that is chargeable to tax in India. There is no monetary threshold under Section 195 — TDS applies from rupee one if the payment is chargeable. The rate is 'rate in force' meaning the lower of the rate under the Act (e.g., 20% for FTS / royalty under Section 115A) and the applicable DTAA rate, where the payee furnishes TRC under Section 90(4), Form 10F and PAN. Following GE India Technology (327 ITR 456) and Vodafone Idea (SC 2024), no TDS arises if the sum is not chargeable in India.
Yes. Along with Karthik Nagar Nerkundram, we serve Nerkundram Pathai and the wider Chennai North belt for TDS Calculation. Wherever you are in this part of Chennai, the process and our 9566-068-468 line stay the same.
Section 194C requires TDS on payments to a resident contractor / sub-contractor. Rate is 1% where the payee is an individual / HUF and 2% in other cases. Threshold is ₹30,000 per single contract or ₹1,00,000 in aggregate during the FY (whichever is breached first). No deduction is required where the contractor is a Goods Transport Agency owning ≤10 goods carriages and furnishes a declaration with PAN as per Section 194C(6).
Section 194O requires e-commerce operators to deduct TDS at 0.1% (reduced from 1% by Finance (No. 2) Act 2024 effective 1 October 2024) on the gross sale of goods / services facilitated through their digital platform to a resident e-commerce participant. Threshold for individual / HUF participants is ₹5 lakh per FY. Where Section 194O applies, no parallel TDS under Sections 194C, 194H or 194J is required on the same transaction. PAN-less participants attract 5% under Section 206AA carve-out.
Yes. We handle TDS Calculation for salaried individuals, proprietors, partnerships, LLPs and private limited companies across Karthik Nagar Nerkundram. Whatever your structure, we scope the TDS Calculation work to fit it — call 9566-068-468 to discuss yours.
Section 194A applies to a resident payee on interest other than interest on securities — typically banks, co-operative societies and post offices on FDs, RDs and similar deposits. The rate is 10%; threshold from FY 2025-26 (Finance Act 2025) is ₹50,000 per annum (₹1,00,000 for senior citizens) for banks / co-operative banks / post office, and ₹10,000 for others. Where PAN is not furnished the rate steps up to 20% under Section 206AA. Where the payee is a specified non-filer the higher of twice the rate or 5% applies under Section 206AB.
Section 197 enables the assessee (resident or non-resident) to apply in Form 13 to the Assessing Officer for a certificate authorising deduction at lower or nil rate where the existing TDS rate exceeds the assessee's likely tax liability. Form 13 is filed online through TRACES; AO examines income projection, advance tax history, past assessments and issues a Section 197 certificate valid for the FY (or part). The certificate quotes payer-PAN-wise — must be obtained before the deduction event. Rule 28AA prescribes computation; processing typically takes 30 days.

India-Mauritius DTAA was amended by the 2016 Protocol — gains on shares acquired on or after 1 April 2017 are taxable in India (source state) under Article 13(3B); pre-1 April 2017 acquisitions retain residence-based taxation (Mauritius). For shares sold between 1 April 2017 and 31 March 2019 a 50% concessional rate (subject to LOB) applied; from 1 April 2019 full rate. The 2024 Protocol introduced a Principal Purpose Test (PPT) — treaty benefit may be denied where obtaining the benefit was a principal purpose. Section 195 TDS rate must mirror the new article.
Several Indian DTAAs (Netherlands, France, Switzerland) carry a Most-Favoured-Nation (MFN) clause whereby if India enters into a later DTAA with a third OECD state at a lower rate / narrower scope, the same benefit is extended automatically. In Concentrix Services Netherlands BV v. ITO (Madras HC, 2021) and Steria India (Delhi HC), the courts held that the MFN benefit applies automatically without separate notification — reading down the rate on dividends from Netherlands to 5% per the India-Slovenia treaty. CBDT Circular No. 3 of 2022 dated 03-02-2022 took a contrary view requiring explicit notification; the Supreme Court in Nestle SA v. AO (2023) ruled in favour of the CBDT view that a Section 90 notification is mandatory. Practitioners must therefore now follow the Nestle SC line until a separate notification issues.
Section 9(1)(vi) deems royalty to accrue / arise in India where it is paid by (a) the Government, (b) a resident (except for use outside India for business / source outside India), or (c) a non-resident in connection with a business / source in India. Royalty is defined to include consideration for use of copyright, patent, trademark, design, secret formula, and information concerning industrial / commercial / scientific experience. The Explanation 4 (FA 2012 retrospective) included computer software as royalty — but the Supreme Court in Engineering Analysis (2021) held that DTAA definition prevails where narrower, neutralising the retrospective expansion in cross-border treaty cases.
Section 9(1)(i) Explanation 2A (Finance Act 2018, operative from FY 2021-22) creates a 'Significant Economic Presence' nexus for non-residents — business connection deemed where (a) transactions with India residents involving aggregate payment exceeding ₹2 crore in the FY, or (b) systematic and continuous solicitation of business in India by digital means with at least 3 lakh users. Once SEP is established, business profits attributable to SEP are taxable in India and Section 195 TDS applies on the chargeable portion. DTAA-protected non-residents may still claim treaty shelter where SEP is not a 'Permanent Establishment'.
