I have received a lower deduction certificate under Section 197 of Income Tax Act specifying a TDS rate of 0.31%. The total sale consideration is ₹90 lakhs.

I’m confused about how to apply this rate:

Should I deduct TDS at the flat rate of 0.31% as mentioned in the certificate, or
Do I need to add surcharge and cess separately over and above this rate?

Also, one person suggested a split approach:

₹1 lakh already paid (ADVANCE) to be taxed at 12.5% + surcharge + cess, and
The remaining ₹89 lakhs at 0.31% + surcharge + cess

However, my understanding is that the rate mentioned in the certificate should be applied directly, without adding anything extra, as per Section 197.

Can someone please clarify the correct method and help compute the exact TDS amount?

“If an employee’s salary exceeds the basic exemption limit but results in zero tax liability after considering deductions and rebates, is TDS deduction required? Also, should such salary be reported in the employer’s TDS return (Form 24Q)?
For Example : RS.480000 Annual Salary then it should be reported in TDS return filed by employer?

There is a pvt ltd company incorporated on 4 may 2018 and hasn't done any compliances post incorporation. No bank account has been opened as INC 20A was not applicable prior to November 2018. Not even subscription money received. The original subscribers are not traceable. The company is still active. New directors were appointed via DIR 12 on 16 aug 2024 and 16 may 2025 respectively and old directors were removed on the same respective dates. Now the new directors want to file all the pending roc compliances i. e. ADT 1, AOC 4, MGT 7A.
My doubts are -
1. Can I file them without receiving the subscription money or should I receive the subscription money in cash.
2. When can I show the transfer of shareholding? Before receiving subscription money or after.
3. Can the current directors sign the documents for FY 18-19 to 23-24?
Please help and guide.
