Section 194R of the Income-tax Act, 1961 mandates that any person providing a benefit or perquisite (whether in cash or in kind, or partly in both) arising from business or the exercise of a profession to a resident recipient, must deduct tax at source (TDS) at the rate of 10% before providing such benefit or perquisite. It clearly states the benefit arising from business or profession.
