Quick Summary

A company made two payments totalling Rs 45,000 to a service provider before receiving a single invoice for Rs 40,000. The query is whether TDS under section 194C needs to be deducted. While individual payments were below the Rs 30,000 limit, the final invoice exceeded it. Experts clarify that TDS is deductible based on the invoice amount when it's received or credited, whichever is earlier, even if payments were made in stages below the threshold.

28 October 2023 Yes, At the time of payment the amount not exceeds 30k. But, the receipt of bill is exceeds the limit of 30k. At the time of payment or crediting the party whichever is earlier. So, TDS deductible based on receipt of bill.
