Grocery given to poor people

This query is : Resolved 

01 January 2025 We have purchased grocery items, like as Rice, wheat, soap, sugar, tea powder, edible oil, pulses, etc and distribute to poor people as a donation ( this is not our trading commodity ).
Yearly our purchases near about 2 crore.
Can we are liable to pay tds under 194 Q ( Tds on Purchases of Goods ) .
Is said grocery comes under definition of goods

01 January 2025 Yes, items you mentioned—rice, wheat, soap, sugar, tea powder, edible oil, and pulses—are classified as "goods" under the Income Tax Act. Therefore, they fall within the scope of Section 194Q, which applies to the purchase of goods.

01 January 2025 But sir, this is not our trading / business activity goods. This expenses we not claim while computing
Business profit. Even though eligible for tds u/s 194 Q

02 January 2025 Yes, the TDS deduction is based on the purchase activity of the liable person, not connected with its usage. No exemption provided in the act for the purchase of goods given for donation. Moreover the tax is deducted over the sellers' dues, it is sellers' job to claim it; purchasers liability gets over after filing the relevant TDS return.

02 January 2025 Ok Thanks sir, धन्यवाद 🙏🙏🙏

02 January 2025 You are welcome.
