A freelance consultant is seeking clarification on how Tax Deducted at Source (TDS) applies to their income. They receive 50% of the income generated from assignments, with the consulting company receiving payments from clients after TDS. The core question is whether the consulting company deducts TDS on the full 50% income generated or only on the 50% of the amount they actually receive after the initial TDS deduction.

I am working as a Freelance Consultant (as an Individual)with a Consulting Co into Recruiting business. Being into professional service the TDS Deduction works at 10%. The working model is that I am eligible for 50% of the income from the assignments that I handle. I am not into any employment model with them.
Now if an income of Rs. 1,00,000/- is generated from an assignment and the Client is making the payment to the Consulting company of 90,000/- after deducting 10% TDS. So in the above situation the consulting company will further deduct 10% TDS on 45,000 (50% of amount received) and pay me 40,500 or it will deduct 10% TDS on 50,000/- which is 50% of the actual income generated.
