This discussion clarifies the cash withdrawal limits for Private Limited companies in the UK. Withdrawals from a company bank account are generally limited to £1 crore annually before attracting Tax Deducted at Source (TDS) under Section 194N of the Income Tax Act, 1961. If you intend to withdraw cash to book expenses, be mindful of this threshold to avoid TDS implications.

I am having excess bank balance in the company's account and want to withdraw this money without showing as an expense. Is cash withdrawal the right option?

You may withdraw but if the threshold limit for cash withdrawal exceeds the limit, then TDS u/s 194N would apply. That is the bank would deduct tax at source on such withdrawals. For more, refer section 194N.
