Quick Answer

What is Section 206AB / 206CCA — higher rate for specified non-filers in Nolambur Phase 3, Chennai?

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).

Why FilingPro?

Why Nolambur Phase 3 Clients Choose FilingPro

Expert TDS Calculation in Nolambur Phase 3 — qualified professionals, 15+ years experience, zero-penalty track record.

Section 195(2) AO Certificate Route

Where part-chargeability / characterisation is disputed (transfer pricing, reimbursement vs FTS), Section 195(2) certificate is sought from the AO before remittance — locking in the rate / proportion authoritatively.

Section 201 Default Insulated

Section 201(1A) interest at 1% / 1.5% per month projected and prevented for Nolambur Phase 3 deductors. Form 26A under Rule 31ACB used where payee has paid tax; Section 195A grossing-up applied where contract is net-of-tax.

Section 192 New Regime Default Applied

Salary TDS under Section 192 is computed at the average rate under the default New Regime under Section 115BAC for Nolambur Phase 3 employees. Old Regime applied only on explicit employee declaration. Form 12BB and Form 12BAA absorbed at payroll level.

Section 194 FY 2025-26 Rate Card

194A ₹50K (₹1L senior), 194I ₹6L per FY, 194J ₹50K, 194C ₹30K single / ₹1L aggregate, 194-IB 2% from 1 October 2024. Nolambur Phase 3 clients get a section-wise threshold sheet at the start of each FY.

Section 195 DTAA Rate Match

For Nolambur Phase 3 foreign remittances, the lower of Act rate (Section 115A 20% for FTS / royalty) and DTAA rate is applied — provided TRC under Section 90(4), Form 10F on the income-tax portal and payee PAN are on file before deduction.

Form 15CA / 15CB Filed Before Remittance

Every taxable foreign remittance is preceded by Form 15CA filing — Part A up to ₹5L, Part C with Form 15CB above ₹5L, Part B where AO certificate held, Part D for non-taxable nature codes. Bank rejects remittance without it.

Key Benefits

What Nolambur Phase 3 Clients Get

Every TDS Calculation engagement delivers measurable, guaranteed outcomes — expert professionals, on time, every time.

Section 271C Penalty Insulated
Bona fide difference of opinion on chargeability defended with CA opinion / Form 15CB position — Section 271C penalty insulated under Section 273B 'reasonable cause' as recognised in US Technologies SC 2023.
Section 192 Refund-Less Payroll
From 1 October 2024, Form 12BAA captures other-deductor TDS / TCS — payroll Section 192 absorbs the credit, employees do not lock cash in refund cycle till ITR.
Section 194T Partnership Compliance Live
Firms / LLPs in Nolambur Phase 3 go live with Section 194T from 1 April 2025 — partner draws restructured, TAN obtained, Form 26Q filed. Section 40(b) disallowance prevented.
Section 194Q Single-Compliance Path

Cross-Border Opinion Defensible
Every Section 195 position issued with citation to Engineering Analysis SC 2021 (software), Nestle SC 2023 (MFN), Vodafone Idea SC 2024 (chargeability) and Concentrix Madras HC 2021 (treaty mechanic). Defensible at survey, scrutiny and CIT(A).

Banker reliance and timingAuthorised dealer requires 15CA acknowledgement before processing the outward remittance; can be filed simultaneously with remittance instruction15CB must precede 15CA Part C; CA verifies rate, characterisation, DTAA invocation, TRC and Form 10F before signing the certificate

Threshold structureNo threshold; deduction triggers once projected annual salary exceeds the basic exemption under the applicable regimeSection-specific monetary threshold per payee per year (Rs 30,000 single / Rs 1,00,000 aggregate under 194J; Rs 30,000 single / Rs 1,00,000 aggregate under 194C)
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

Cross-border TDS is where Sections 9, 195 and DTAA articles converge. FilingPro structures every Nolambur Phase 3 foreign remittance through a four-step test — (1) chargeability under Section 9(1)(i)/(vi)/(vii), (2) DTAA shelter under Article 12 (royalty / FTS) or Article 7 (business profits), (3) make-available test where treaty narrows FTS, and (4) PoEM / GAAR override check. Engineering Analysis SC 2021, Vodafone Idea SC 2024, GE India Technology (327 ITR 456) and Nestle SC 2023 are the four anchors of every opinion.

Section 194Q buyer's TDS at 0.1% above ₹50L applied where preceding FY turnover crosses ₹10 crore — CBDT Circular 13/2021 overlap rule executed; 206C(1H) abolished from 1 April 2025.

People Also Ask — TDS Calculation in Nolambur Phase 3
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.
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 the time limit to pass a Section 201 order?

Section 201(3) prescribes a seven-year limitation from the end of the financial year in which payment is made or credit is given. Beyond the limit the order is void; coordinate-bench rulings consistently quash time-barred Section 201 orders.

How does Section 40(a)(ia) interact with TDS default?

Section 40(a)(ia) disallows 30% of any expenditure on which TDS was not deducted or not paid by the return due date. The deduction is restored in the year of subsequent payment under the proviso, removing the cash-flow penalty.

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.

Section 206AA and 206AB anti-abuse measures

Section 206AB for non-filers

Section 206AB inserted by Finance Act 2021 with effect from 1 July 2021 requires the deductor to apply the higher of twice the rate specified in the relevant provision, twice the rate in force, or 5% where the deductee is a 'specified person' — defined as a person who has not filed return of income for the relevant assessment year preceding the year in which the deduction is to be made and where the aggregate TDS in such preceding year is ₹50,000 or more. CBDT through Circular 11/2021 and Circular 10/2022 has rationalised the verification mechanism through the Reporting Portal's Compliance Check facility. The deductor must run the Compliance Check at the start of each financial year (typically April) and at each subsequent TDS event for a new deductee.

Interplay between 206AA and 206AB

Where both Section 206AA (no PAN) and Section 206AB (non-filer) apply to the same deductee, Section 206AB(2) provides that the higher of the rates under the two sections shall apply. The two sections are conceptually distinct — 206AA addresses an information deficit (absence of PAN), while 206AB addresses a compliance deficit (failure to file return). The combined effect can elevate withholding to 20% (206AA floor) or higher, even on payment types that ordinarily carry a 1% or 2% TDS. The deductor's documentation must capture both the PAN status and the Compliance Check result, time-stamped against the date of deduction. Section 206CC and 206CCA mirror these provisions on the TCS side.

Exceptions and carve-outs

Section 206AB carves out non-resident deductees who do not have a Permanent Establishment in India, and certain transaction types under Sections 192 (salary), 192A (PF withdrawal), 194B (lottery), 194BB (horse race), 194LBC (securitisation trust), 194N (cash withdrawal) and 194-IA, 194-IB, 194M, 194S (effective post 2022 amendment). The deductor must therefore apply the Compliance Check selectively. For Section 206AA the carve-out under Rule 37BC for non-resident deductees furnishing alternative identification information mitigates the 20% floor and preserves the treaty rate; this is operationally critical for routine remittances to non-residents whose Indian PAN obtaining is impractical.

Gross-up under Section 195A and net-of-tax contracts

Statutory mechanics of Section 195A

Section 195A applies where a person responsible for deducting tax has agreed to bear the tax burden in addition to the contractually agreed payment — a net-of-tax contract. In such case the deductor is required to gross up the agreed payment to a figure such that, after deduction of the applicable TDS, the deductee receives the net contracted amount. The formula is Gross = Net / (1 - rate), where rate is the applicable TDS rate including surcharge and Health and Education Cess where applicable. The grossed-up figure is the chargeable amount in the deductor's books, and the TDS computed on the gross is what is deposited with the government. Section 195A also provides that the tax borne by the payer is treated as additional income in the hands of the payee.

Treaty rate vs domestic rate gross-up

For non-resident payees, the gross-up rate is the rate at which TDS is actually deducted — typically the lower of the domestic Section 195 rate and the treaty rate. Where the treaty rate (say 10% under DTAA Article 12) is lower than the domestic rate (20% in many cases), the gross-up uses the treaty rate. However, if the treaty rate is not available due to absence of TRC or Form 10F or applicability of Principal Purpose Test, the higher domestic rate applies. The deductor in a net-of-tax contract therefore carries the rate-determination risk: an AO subsequently disallowing the treaty rate means the deductor under-grossed up and bears the additional tax economically.

Section 195A non-applicability for Section 192

Section 195A specifically excludes Section 192 salary payments from the gross-up mechanism. Where an employer agrees to bear the tax on salary (a 'tax-protected' or 'tax-equalised' arrangement common for expatriate assignees), the tax-on-tax is itself a perquisite under Section 17(2)(iv) and is added to the salary for Section 192 computation, but the gross-up formula under Section 195A is not mechanically applied. The result is an iterative tax-on-tax computation that converges over several rounds — a methodology codified by ITAT in Mitsubishi Corporation and Yokogawa decisions and routinely tested in expat-payroll TDS scrutiny.

Equalisation Levy and Section 194-O comparison

Boundary cases and double-tax risk

The boundary between Section 194-O and the Equalisation Levy was a persistent compliance complexity from October 2020 to August 2024. Where a non-resident platform sold to Indian customers, the platform attracted Equalisation Levy 2020 at 2%; if the platform also acted as an e-commerce operator for Indian sellers on the same platform, the platform deducted Section 194-O at 1% on the Indian seller's transactions. The repeal of the 2020 Equalisation Levy in August 2024 simplified the regime but retained Section 194-O on a permanent basis. Section 194-O explicitly disallows double-application — once 194-O is deducted, the underlying transaction is not subject to other TDS sections under Chapter XVII-B per Section 194-O(3).

Equalisation Levy 2016 introduction

The Equalisation Levy was introduced by Chapter VIII of the Finance Act 2016 as a separate levy outside the Income Tax Act, imposing 6% on the gross amount of consideration paid to a non-resident for specified services — online advertisement and provision of digital advertising space. The levy is collected by the resident payer through deduction. The conceptual basis is BEPS Action 1 (Addressing the Tax Challenges of the Digital Economy) and India's stated position that source-state taxation rights over digital economy income require a separate machinery outside the traditional Permanent Establishment threshold. The 2016 levy applies where the annual aggregate consideration to a non-resident exceeds ₹1 lakh.

Equalisation Levy 2020 expansion

Finance Act 2020 introduced a second-generation Equalisation Levy at 2% on the consideration receivable by a non-resident e-commerce operator from supply of goods or services to Indian residents, non-residents in specified circumstances, and persons using Indian IP address. The 2020 levy was collected from the non-resident operator directly (not by the Indian payer), with a threshold of ₹2 crore annual gross receipts. The 2020 levy was widely criticised by trading partners (especially the United States Trade Representative who launched a Section 301 investigation), and was repealed by Finance Act 2024 with effect from 1 August 2024, leaving only the 2016 levy on online advertisement in force.

How the local trade mix shapes this — Nolambur Phase 3 businesses operate where the cluster of residential, retail, coaching businesses that defines Nolambur Phase 3's commercial fabric.

Government Contractors & PSUs
Common issue: Government bodies and PSUs deducting TDS under Section 194C, 194J and 194I on contractor payments simultaneously face Section 51 of the CGST Act (TDS under GST at 2%). The two regimes have different bases (Income Tax Act on payment, GST Act on value of supply excluding GST), different thresholds (₹30,000 per contract under 194C, ₹2.5 lakh per contract under GST Section 51) and different return formats; consolidation in a single deduction memo creates rate errors.
How we handle it: Operate two parallel TDS modules — one under the IT Act with TAN-based reporting, one under GST with GSTIN-based reporting in Form GSTR-7; train accounts staff to recognise the dual regime; issue Form 16A under IT and Form GSTR-7A under GST separately.
Startups & Pre-Revenue Companies
Common issue: Recognised startups under DPIIT often delay TAN registration on the view that they have no employees and no TDS liability. The first vendor payment for legal fees, audit fees, premises rent or contractor invoice typically crosses Section 194J/194C/194I thresholds within the first quarter of operations, exposing the entity to Section 234E late-filing fee (₹200 per day) and Section 271H penalty.
How we handle it: Apply for TAN within thirty days of incorporation in Form 49B; enrol in TRACES; establish a TDS-on-vendor-bill workflow before the first vendor invoice; deploy Sections 194J/194C/194I on routine professional and contractor payments from day one.
Pharmaceutical Companies
Common issue: Pharma companies engaging Contract Research Organisations and Contract Manufacturing Organisations face the Section 194J (technical services) versus Section 194C (manufacture per buyer specifications) line. CBDT Circular 681/1994 and the Tata Consultancy Services line of authority place CRO arrangements firmly in 194J at 10%, while CMO arrangements where the contractor supplies own materials are 194C at 1%/2% or sale of goods outside TDS.
How we handle it: Examine the BOM ownership and IP ownership in each contract — buyer-supplied materials and IP indicate 194C; CMO-owned materials with buyer specifications indicate sale of goods; CRO with technical input indicates 194J. Reconcile with the GST classification of the contract (job work versus supply of services) to ensure consistency.
Educational Institutes - Salary
Common issue: Schools and colleges paying salary to teachers are required to deduct Section 192 at the average rate of tax on estimated annual income, factoring in the New Tax Regime default (Section 115BAC, post Finance Act 2023) unless the employee opts out. Institutes still apply the old regime by default, causing employee dissatisfaction and TDS challan-mismatch in Form 26AS at year end.
How we handle it: At the start of each financial year obtain a written declaration from each employee on regime choice; build payroll engines that compute Section 192 under both regimes and lock the chosen regime for the year; integrate Section 87A rebate and Section 80C/80D investment proofs collected against Form 12BB.
Co-operative Societies - Housing
Common issue: Housing societies paying contractor charges for security, housekeeping, garden maintenance and lift annual maintenance contracts must deduct Section 194C where annual payment to a single contractor exceeds ₹1,00,000 or single bill exceeds ₹30,000. Many societies skip TDS on the assumption that resident-society contributions are not 'income' for the society — but the deductor obligation is on payment-out, not on income-in.
How we handle it: Register the society for TAN; deduct 194C on contractor invoices; deduct 194J at 10% on professional retainerships (accountant, lawyer); deposit by 7th of following month and 30th April for March-end; issue Form 16A to contractors quarterly.

Anonymised engagements we have handled

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

Section 194-O e-commerceHospitality

Section 194-O e-commerce-operator deduction confirmed for restaurant aggregator

Issue: A Chennai restaurant listing on a food-aggregator platform received intimation that the platform had deducted 1% TDS under Section 194-O on the gross order value before commission. The restaurant wanted to verify the deduction methodology and ensure correct credit.
Approach: We reconciled the platform Section 194-O statement with the restaurant GSTR-1 outward supplies, confirmed that the deduction was on the gross order value (not net of commission) per Section 194-O Explanation, and ensured the restaurant claimed full credit in its quarterly advance-tax workings.
Outcome: Section 194-O TDS of Rs 84,000 reconciled in Form 26AS; credit claimed against advance-tax instalments; no double-counting against Section 194H commission deduction by the platform.
Form 15CB PE testIT Services

Form 15CB DTAA-eligibility test challenged on PE-trigger ground

Issue: A Chennai IT services company remitted Rs 52 lakh to a Singapore parent for shared-services support. The CA issued Form 15CB at nil rate on DTAA business-profits no-PE basis; the AO subsequently took the view that the Singapore parent had a service-PE in India through deputed personnel, triggering Section 195 obligation.
Approach: We rebutted the service-PE assertion under Article 5(6) of the India-Singapore DTAA on the 90-day deputation threshold test, produced the deputation register showing none of the visiting personnel exceeded the threshold in the relevant year, and supported with the visa-records and expense-allocation working.
Outcome: Service-PE assertion negated at first-appeal stage; nil-rate Form 15CB sustained; no Section 201 default; subsequent quarters Form 15CB continued at nil rate with monthly deputation-day register maintained.
Section 194-LBA business trustFinancial Services

Section 194-LBA business-trust distribution TDS rate clarified for non-resident

Issue: A Chennai-based InvIT trustee made distribution payments to a Singapore-resident unit-holder during FY 2023-24. The Section 194-LBA TDS rate at 5% on the interest component was applied, but the AO sought 20% under Section 206AA on the ground that the unit-holder had not furnished PAN.
Approach: We furnished the unit-holder TRC, Form 10F under Rule 21AB and the India-Singapore DTAA characterisation. CBDT Notification 03/2022 manual Form 10F option was used pending PAN allotment. The DTAA-route documentation neutralised the Section 206AA escalation.
Outcome: Section 194-LBA 5% rate sustained; Section 206AA 20% override neutralised; Form 27Q correction statement filed with annexed TRC; no Section 271C consequence.
Section 194Q first-yearManufacturing

Section 194Q first-year threshold defended on prior-year-turnover basis

Issue: A Chennai textile manufacturer crossing the Rs 10 crore turnover threshold for the first time in FY 2023-24 was uncertain whether Section 194Q applied from 1 April 2023 (the very start of the year) or only after the turnover trigger was confirmed mid-year.
Approach: We confirmed under CBDT Circular 13/2021 that Section 194Q applies where the buyer turnover in the immediately preceding financial year exceeded Rs 10 crore, meaning FY 2022-23 turnover decides FY 2023-24 deduction obligation. The manufacturer FY 2022-23 audit confirmed Rs 12 crore; Section 194Q was applied from 1 April 2023 on purchases above Rs 50 lakh per supplier.
Outcome: Section 194Q correctly applied throughout FY 2023-24; no Section 201 short-deduction default; supplier Form 26AS reconciled; Section 206C(1H) waiver letters issued to suppliers under Circular 13/2021.

TDS Calculation FAQ — Nolambur Phase 3

Common questions from Nolambur Phase 3 clients. Call 9566-068-468 for specific queries.

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).
Section 201(1) treats the deductor as 'assessee in default' for failure to deduct or, after deduction, failure to pay TDS — recoverable by demand. Section 201(1A) levies interest at 1% per month from the date TDS was deductible to the date of deduction, and 1.5% per month from the date of deduction to the date of payment. First proviso to 201(1) (Form 26A route under Rule 31ACB) waives the demand where the resident payee has filed ITR including the income and paid tax — but interest under 201(1A) is not waived. Section 40(a)(ia) disallows 30% of the expense (100% for non-resident payments) for the year of non-deduction.
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 Nolambur Phase 3 clients we get it right the first time, which usually works out cheaper and far less stressful.
Yes. General Anti-Avoidance Rules (GAAR) under Sections 95-102 (operative from AY 2018-19) empower the Revenue to declare an arrangement an 'impermissible avoidance arrangement' and deny treaty benefits where the main purpose is to obtain tax benefit and the arrangement lacks commercial substance. Place of Effective Management (PoEM) under Section 6(3) (operative from AY 2017-18) treats a foreign company as Indian resident if its key management and commercial decisions are made in India — converting Section 195 to Section 192/194 application. Both should be tested before relying on a treaty rate for a Form 15CB.
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.
Your engagement is handled by our in-house team led by Ravivarman R (Founder, 15+ years, 500+ engagements), with M. E. Chokkalingam on compliance and S. Jayaprakash on GST matters. You deal with named, qualified people throughout your TDS Calculation — not a call centre.
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.
Section 194J applies to fees for professional services, fees for technical services (FTS), royalty and director sitting fees paid to a resident. Rate is 10% for professional services / royalty / director fees and 2% for FTS and call-centre operators (split bifurcated by Finance Act 2020). Threshold is ₹50,000 per FY per nature of payment from FY 2025-26 (raised from ₹30,000 by Finance Act 2025). Director sitting fees have no threshold — TDS applies from rupee one.

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 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.

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.
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.
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 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.
