Quick Answer

What is the MFN clause and the Concentrix Madras HC ruling in Koyambedu Fruit Market, Chennai?

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 206AB Compliance Check

TRACES 'Compliance Check for Section 206AB & 206CCA' utility queried for every deductee — non-filer doubled-rate (or 5%) avoided. Finance (No. 2) Act 2024 simplification to one preceding year applied.

Section 194Q vs 206C(1H) Overlap

Where buyer and seller both cross ₹10 crore turnover, 194Q prevails over 206C(1H) per Circular 13/2021. Post Finance (No. 2) Act 2024, 206C(1H) abolished from 1 April 2025 — only 194Q applies for Koyambedu Fruit Market buyers.

Section 194T Partner Remuneration

PAN-failure rate escalationSection 206AA escalates rate to 20% for the salary in question; employer can recover from next salary cycleSection 206AA escalates to higher of 20% or twice the section rate; payments often released before PAN check, creating default risk
Regime-option interactionEmployer applies Section 115BAC default regime unless employee opts out in writing under Section 115BAC(6) at year start; opt-in subject to CBDT Circular 4/2023Regime choice irrelevant to deductor; section rate is fixed on gross irrespective of payee regime preference

People Also Ask — TDS Calculation in Koyambedu Fruit Market
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

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.

Policy rationale and revenue significance

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.

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.

Sections 194 series TDS on resident payments

Section 194J professional and technical services

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 and 194-IB rent on immovable property

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 on immovable property purchase

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 TDS on non-resident payments

Charging mechanics and chargeability question

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.

DTAA interplay and treaty rates

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.

Engineering Analysis and software royalty

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.

Form 15CA and Form 15CB for foreign remittance

Specified List exemptions under Part D

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.

Statutory basis under Rule 37BB

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.

Chartered Accountant certification responsibility

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.

By Industry

Industry-specific patterns in Koyambedu Fruit Market

How the local trade mix shapes this — Koyambedu Fruit Market businesses operate where the cluster of wholesale, fruits, cold storage businesses that defines Koyambedu Fruit Market's commercial fabric.

Online Gaming & Digital Platforms
Common issue: Section 194BA (introduced by Finance Act 2023, effective 1 April 2023) requires online gaming intermediaries to deduct 30% TDS on net winnings of users at the time of withdrawal or end of financial year. The earlier Section 194B (₹10,000 threshold for lottery, crossword, card games) was widely misapplied to online gaming until 194BA was inserted; legacy platforms still struggle with the transition rules in CBDT Circular 5/2023.
How we handle it: Apply Section 194BA exclusively to online gaming for periods on or after 1 April 2023; use the per-user net-winning ledger formula prescribed in Rule 133; for legacy lottery and game-show winnings continue with Section 194B; for non-resident winners verify treaty rates for gambling income (typically no treaty relief).
Cryptocurrency & Virtual Digital Assets
Common issue: Section 194S (Finance Act 2022, effective 1 July 2022) requires the buyer of a Virtual Digital Asset to deduct 1% TDS on the consideration. Indian crypto exchanges (operating as Section 194S buyer-side intermediary) often miss the threshold matrix — ₹50,000 for specified persons and ₹10,000 for others — and apply a blanket exemption or blanket deduction.
How we handle it: Implement the threshold logic per Section 194S(2) read with CBDT Circular 13/2022 and 14/2022; treat the exchange as the buyer where the transaction is exchange-mediated; for peer-to-peer transactions place the buyer-side obligation explicitly in the platform terms; report in quarterly Form 26QF.
Agricultural Procurement & APMC
Common issue: Agricultural commodity buyers procuring from farmers and Agricultural Produce Market Committee yards interpret Section 194Q narrowly to exclude agricultural produce, citing Section 10(1) farmer exemption. Section 194Q is a buyer-side deduction obligation independent of the seller's income-tax status — the agricultural exemption of the seller's income does not exempt the buyer from deduction.
How we handle it: Apply Section 194Q at 0.1% on agricultural commodity purchases above ₹50 lakh per seller-PAN per year unless the seller furnishes a Section 197 nil/lower-deduction certificate; for purchases through APMC agents the buyer-seller relationship is between the principal buyer and the principal seller — depute the agent to capture seller PAN at sale.
IT Services - Domestic
Common issue: Indian IT and software firms routinely engage independent consultants, contract developers and pre-incorporation founder-engineers as 'professionals' but treat the engagement as Section 194C works contract at 1%/2% rather than Section 194J at 10%. Section 194J read with Explanation (a) covers fees for professional services including engineering, technical consultancy and software development; misclassification triggers Section 201(1A) interest of 1%/1.5% per month and disallowance under Section 40(a)(ia) at 30% of the expense.
How we handle it: Apply Section 194J at 10% for any engagement that involves human-skill-based deliverables (code, design, architecture, advisory); reserve Section 194C only for vendor-managed turnkey delivery with no employer-like supervision. Document contracts to evidence the nature of services and rely on Bharti Cellular (SC, 2010) reasoning on 'technical services' to determine boundary cases.
IT Services - Export & Royalty
Common issue: Cross-border software licence purchases from foreign vendors (Microsoft, Oracle, AWS Marketplace ISVs) were historically grossed-up and TDS-deducted under Section 195 at 10%/20% treating payments as royalty under Explanation 2 to Section 9(1)(vi). Engineering Analysis Centre of Excellence (SC, 2021) held that shrink-wrapped/end-user-licence software payments are not royalty under most DTAAs because they do not transfer copyright. Many CFO teams over-deduct, erode vendor relationships, and lock cash in TDS refunds.
How we handle it: Read the relevant DTAA Article 12 in conjunction with Engineering Analysis to determine whether payment is for copyrighted article (no TDS) or copyright itself (TDS applies). Obtain Tax Residency Certificate and Form 10F from vendor; document the licence terms; for ambiguous cases approach AO under Section 195(2) for a determination of chargeable portion.
Case Studies

Anonymised engagements we have handled

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

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 194Q overlapTrading

Section 194Q vs Section 206C(1H) overlap settled by buyer-take-precedence rule

Issue: A Chennai trader with turnover above Rs 10 crore and a supplier with turnover above Rs 10 crore were both deducting and collecting tax under Section 194Q and Section 206C(1H) respectively, leading to double-credit confusion and reconciliation defaults in Form 26AS for the buyer.
Approach: We applied CBDT Circular 13/2021 which clarified that if Section 194Q is applicable, the buyer deducts and the seller does not collect under Section 206C(1H). We re-papered the supply arrangement with a buyer-declaration to the supplier, and the supplier filed correction statements to remove Section 206C(1H) entries for the relevant quarters.
Outcome: Form 26AS reconciled at the buyer end; both deductor and collector statements aligned; no Section 201 exposure; recurring trades continued under Section 194Q at the buyer end.
Section 194N non-filerTrading

Section 194N cash-withdrawal threshold computation clarified for non-filer payee

Issue: A Chennai wholesale trader who had not filed ITR for the prior three assessment years withdrew Rs 1.6 crore in cash from a single bank account in FY 2023-24. The bank deducted Section 194N TDS at the enhanced rate per the non-filer-cash-withdrawal scheme, applying 2% on excess over Rs 20 lakh and 5% on excess over Rs 1 crore.
Approach: We confirmed under the second proviso to Section 194N that the threshold for a non-filer is Rs 20 lakh (not Rs 1 crore) and that the rate slabs are 2% between Rs 20 lakh and Rs 1 crore and 5% above Rs 1 crore. The trader Form 26AS was reconciled and credit claimed against the assessed liability in the subsequent return.
Outcome: Section 194N TDS of Rs 3,80,000 correctly claimed as credit; no refund-in-isolation since the second proviso restricts; trader filed pending returns to revert to standard threshold for future years.
Section 194H commissionTrading

Section 194H commission default settled on principal-to-principal characterisation

Issue: A Chennai FMCG distributor paid trade-discounts of Rs 68 lakh to retailers in FY 2023-24 without deducting TDS, treating them as price reductions and not commission. The AO recharacterised as Section 194H commission, raising a default of Rs 6,80,000 at 5%.
Approach: We produced the principal-to-principal trading agreements with each retailer showing that title passed at the distributor invoice, that retailers bore inventory risk, and that the discounts were volume-linked rebates rather than agency commission. CIT(A) accepted the principal-to-principal characterisation.
Outcome: Section 201 default deleted; no Section 271C exposure; future-period rebate policy retained with stronger documentation; principal-to-principal pattern confirmed.

TDS Calculation FAQ — Koyambedu Fruit Market

Common questions from Koyambedu Fruit Market clients. Call 9566-068-468 for specific queries.

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 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.
You can attempt it, but small errors in TDS Calculation often lead to notices, penalties or rejections that cost more to fix than to avoid. For Koyambedu Fruit Market clients we get it right the first time, which usually works out cheaper and far less stressful.
Section 194-IB applies to individuals / HUFs not covered under 194I (i.e., not subject to Section 44AB tax audit) paying rent above ₹50,000 per month to a resident landlord. TDS at 2% (reduced from 5% w.e.f. 1 October 2024 by Finance (No. 2) Act 2024) is deducted once — in the last month of tenancy or the last month of the FY (whichever earlier) — and deposited via Form 26QC within 30 days. Form 16C is issued to the landlord. TAN is not required; PAN of tenant suffices.
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.

Rule 37BB read with Section 195(6) prescribes Forms 15CA / 15CB for any remittance to a non-resident. Form 15CA is a self-declaration by the remitter in four parts — Part A (taxable remittance up to ₹5 lakh in FY), Part B (taxable remittance above ₹5 lakh where AO order under Section 195(2)/(3)/197 obtained), Part C (taxable remittance above ₹5 lakh requiring Form 15CB CA certificate), Part D (non-taxable remittance covered under Rule 37BB specified list — 33 nature codes). Form 15CB is a Chartered Accountant certificate certifying the taxability, applicable rate (Act / DTAA), TDS computation and remittance details, mandated where remittance exceeds ₹5 lakh per transaction in a FY and is taxable.
Section 206AB (and parallel 206CCA on TCS) applies a higher TDS rate — twice the rate in force or 5% (whichever is higher) — where the deductee is a 'specified person' i.e., one who has not filed the ITR for the FY immediately preceding the FY in which TDS is to be deducted, where the due date under Section 139(1) has expired and aggregate TDS / TCS is ₹50,000 or more in that FY. The 'Compliance Check for Section 206AB & 206CCA' utility on the TRACES / income-tax portal must be used by the deductor to verify status before each deduction. Finance (No. 2) Act 2024 simplified the test to one preceding year (earlier two).
On completion we hand over every relevant document — certificates, acknowledgements, challans and a short summary of what was done — so your TDS Calculation record is complete. Koyambedu Fruit Market clients keep a clean file they can produce anytime.
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 195A applies where under the contract the tax is to be borne by the payer (the 'net of tax' agreement). The payment is grossed up — i.e., the contracted net sum is treated as the post-TDS amount and recomputed as gross at the rate in force, so that after TDS the payee receives the agreed net. Formula: Gross = Net / (1 - rate). Grossing up is mandatory and must reflect in Form 15CB and Form 27Q. Failure to gross up where contract requires it is itself a Section 201 default.

We confirm and handle the right jurisdiction for every Koyambedu Fruit Market engagement.
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.
In Engineering Analysis Centre of Excellence Pvt. Ltd. v. CIT (2021) 432 ITR 471, the Supreme Court held that consideration paid by Indian end-users / distributors to non-resident manufacturers / suppliers for use / resale of computer software through end-user licence agreements (EULA) is not 'royalty' under Article 12 of the relevant DTAAs read with Section 9(1)(vi) — it is a sale of copyrighted article and not transfer of copyright. Consequently no Section 195 TDS obligation arises on cross-border shrink-wrap software payments. Reaffirmed in subsequent ITAT rulings; the ratio also covers SaaS / cloud subscriptions in many cases.
Section 9(1)(vii) deems Fees for Technical Services to accrue in India on the same payer-source pattern as 9(1)(vi). FTS means consideration for managerial, technical or consultancy services (including provision of technical / other personnel) but excludes consideration for any construction, assembly, mining or like project, and excludes consideration chargeable as 'Salaries'. DTAAs typically narrow the definition with a 'make available' qualifier — services taxable as FTS only where they make technical knowledge / skill / process available to the recipient (India-USA, India-UK, India-Singapore).
Section 194I applies to rent paid by any person (other than individual / HUF not subject to tax audit) to a resident. Rates are 10% on rent of land or building or furniture, 2% on rent of plant and machinery. Aggregate threshold from FY 2025-26 (Finance Act 2025) is ₹6,00,000 per FY (raised from ₹2,40,000). Section 194-IB (separate provision) applies to individuals / HUFs not covered under 194I — TDS at 2% (reduced from 5% w.e.f. 1 October 2024 by Finance (No. 2) Act 2024) on rent exceeding ₹50,000 per month, deducted once a year in the last month of tenancy or FY.
