Great question!
Section **194A(3)** (I think you meant 194A(3)) actually **exempts TDS on interest payments by companies to banks** in certain cases, but **not on commissions or other payments**.
Here’s the breakdown:
* **Section 194A** deals with TDS on **interest payments**.
* **Section 194H** deals with TDS on **commission or brokerage**.
* **Section 194J** covers professional fees and technical services (sometimes applicable depending on nature of service).
**In your case:**
* The payments made by Company X to the **card issuing bank and settlement bank are commissions**, not interest.
* Therefore, **TDS under Section 194H (on commission) is applicable**.
* Section 194A(3) exemption applies **only to interest payments**, so it does **NOT** exempt commission payments to banks.
**Conclusion:**
Company X **must deduct TDS under Section 194H** on commission payments to the banks.
If you want, I can help with the exact rate and procedure. Would you like that?
