As we are aware, TDS@30% is applicable to all prize money won on the KBC game show u/s 194B(Old Act).

It may also be observed that every contestant appearing on the show is provided with certain complimentary gifts, such as Desi Ghee and a gold coin.

Out of general curiosity, I would like to know whether the show's producers are required to deduct TDS on the Ghee and gold coins given away for free as well, and if so, under which section...???

In my opinion (I may be wrong) Desi Ghee and gold coins may not fall within the category of "Winnings from Game show", since they are not awarded as a prize for winning the game but are provided to every contestant irrespective of the outcome.

I would appreciate clarification on the applicable TDS treatment of such complimentary gifts,

Applicability of Tax Audit u/s 44AB in case of Pvt ltd Company having Professional Receipts of ₹23 Lakh and Loss of ₹35 Lakh :
Whether the company is required to conduct a tax audit under Section 44AB of the Income-tax Act, 1961?
Does the business loss of ₹35 lakh, by itself, make the company liable for tax audit under Section 44AB?

If Section 44AB is not applicable, is the company required only to:
prepare and file its income-tax return (ITR-6); and
conduct its statutory audit under the Companies Act, 2013?

Regime change

Dear Experts
I had salary and business income in FY 2023-24, so I filed ITR4 and submitted form 10IEA for opting old regime .
In FY 2024-25, I had only salary income. So I opted new regime without submitting form 10IEA.
In FY 2025-26, I had salary and business income again. So I filed ITR4 continuing new regime as I opted it last year. But income tax department now seeking a clarification for not submitting form 10IEA again this year. They are saying that this year income will be treated as per old regime since business income is there.
I am hopefully looking for your kind advice about how to respond to this query.
