TDS on cash withdrawal in India



Quick Summary
Section 194N, introduced by the Finance Act 2019, mandates Tax Deducted at Source (TDS) on cash payments exceeding ₹1 crore in a financial year. This 2% TDS applies to payments made by banking companies, co-operative societies, and post offices to most recipients, excluding specific entities like government bodies and other financial institutions. It's important to note that TDS is calculated on the aggregate of all accounts a customer holds with a bank.

With effect from Finance Act 2019, section 194N has come into existence, which has imposed TDS liability on Payer when any cash payment exceeding Rs. 1 crore is made (individually or in aggregate) during the financial year to Payee.
