12 August 2025 Thanks for your query. Let's address it step by step.

📌 Your Query Summary:
Remittance amount: Below ₹2,00,000

Purpose code: S1502 – Import of goods

Nature of remittance: Reversal or correction of wrong entry

You're asking: Is TDS applicable under Section 195 for such remittance?

✅ Short Answer: No, TDS is NOT applicable
If:

The remittance is for correction/reversal, not actual income or supply, and

The remittance does not result in income chargeable to tax in India, and

The original payment was also non-taxable (e.g., for import of goods).

🔍 Detailed Reasoning:
🔸 Section 195 (TDS on payments to non-residents):
TDS is applicable only when the payment made to a non-resident is chargeable to tax in India.

In your case:

If the remittance is just a correction/reversal of a wrongly made payment,

And if no goods or services are being received in exchange (i.e., no income for the recipient),

Then it is not chargeable to tax under Indian Income Tax law.

✅ Therefore, TDS is not required.
