TDS-194M Contract


This query is : Resolved 

Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies TDS deduction under Section 194M for contract payments. It explains that if a payment crosses a financial year, TDS is calculated based on the financial year the payment is made. If a new contract's total payment in a financial year exceeds the threshold, TDS applies. Importantly, Section 194M applies to services, not material purchases, for which Section 194Q would be relevant.

TDS deduct or not in balance payment of Rs. 26.00 Lacs as per 194M
due to Payment year change.


11 April 2025 As the balance payment of ₹26,00,000 does not exceed the threshold of ₹50,00,000 in FY 2025-26, no TDS deduction is required on this payment under Section 194M due to the change in financial year.

11 April 2025 Thanks Sir for your reply,
