### ✅ Legal Provision:
**Section 206C of the Income-tax Act, 1961** governs **TCS**.
While **Section 206C** itself does **not explicitly mandate** that TCS must be shown separately on the invoice, it is a **standard and accepted practice** because:
1. **Rule 31(1)(b)(ii)** of the **Income-tax Rules, 1962** states that the deductor/collector shall furnish a certificate of TCS (Form 27D), which **must contain**:
* The **amount collected**
* The **rate of collection**
* The **nature of the transaction**
* The **invoice or bill number**
2. **Section 206C(5)** also requires the seller to issue a certificate of TCS, which includes **details of the collection** — this implies the amount must be **explicitly known and stated**.
---
### 🧾 Practical Reason for Separate Disclosure:
* If TCS is not shown separately:
* It may be treated as **part of sale price**
* Could lead to disputes in **Form 27D** reconciliation
* Buyer may face **difficulty in claiming TCS credit**
---
### 📌 Industry Practice:
Most ERP/accounting software like Tally, Busy, Zoho, etc., include a **separate TCS ledger** or field in invoice modules — this ensures **clarity**, **transparency**, and **compliance**.
---
### ✅ Recommendation:
Even though not explicitly stated in the section, you **must show TCS separately** in the invoice to:
* Avoid tax complications
* Properly issue Form 27D
* Ensure buyer can claim credit
