06 July 2009 Hi,
As per section 40(ia) , tax has to be deducted as per the prescribed . If the tax is not deducted at prescribed rate or deducted at low rates then whole of the expenses will be disallowed. In my opinion there is no provision for proportionate allowance of expenses.
In your case, as the surcharge is not deducted whole expenses will be dissallowed.
Experts plz clarify if any other consequences are there.

07 July 2009 only proportionate expenditure will be disallowed.

you can take as only for such amount has been deducted fully n for others not deducted. and so proportionate wil only be disallowed

07 July 2009 Expense is disallowed only if
1) Tax is not deducted
2) Tax is deducted but not paid to CG treasury.

So, there will not be any disallowance.

But penal provision for non-compliance of TDS procedures can be attracted.
