Hey! About TCS on jewellery sales involving both cash and card payments โ hereโs the lowdown:
---
### Applicability of TCS on Jewellery Sales (under Section 206C(1H)):
* **From 1st October 2020 onwards**, TCS @1% is applicable on sale of **goods like jewellery** if:
* The **total sale consideration** exceeds **Rs 50 lakhs** in a financial year **from a buyer**. * The **cash payment portion** exceeds Rs 20,000 in a single transaction.
---
### Your case:
* Jewellery sale amount = Rs 5,30,000 * Cash payment = Rs 44,000 * Payment by card = Rs 4,86,000
---
### Is TCS applicable?
* Since the **cash payment is Rs 44,000 (which is > Rs 20,000 limit)**, **TCS @1% applies on the entire sale amount (Rs 5,30,000)** โ not just on the cash portion. * The mode of balance payment (credit card) does **not exempt the transaction from TCS** if the cash payment exceeds Rs 20,000. * So, yes, **TCS is applicable here**.
---
### Important points:
* TCS must be collected on the **total sale value (Rs 5,30,000)** from the buyer. * If the jewellery seller is registered for TCS, they must collect TCS and deposit it with the government. * The buyer can claim credit of this TCS while filing their income tax return.
