Regarding **TDS on Credit Notes** issued for services (like under Section 194C):
* **If the original payment was subject to TDS deduction**, and later a **credit note reduces the amount payable** (due to non-fulfillment or adjustment), then the TDS should also be adjusted accordingly.
* This means you **reduce the TDS amount proportionately** corresponding to the credit note amount.
* In practice, this is done by **adjusting the TDS challan** or by accounting for the reduction in TDS in your TDS return for that quarter.
* However, you **do not deduct "negative TDS"** separately. Instead, the overall TDS liability is reduced.
**Example:**
* Original invoice: ₹1,00,000 * TDS @ 1% = ₹1,000 deducted * Credit note issued for ₹20,000 * Adjusted amount payable: ₹80,000 * TDS should now be ₹800 * So, you adjust the earlier deducted TDS by ₹200.

If the TDS is already deposited, you can either:
* Adjust it in the next quarter’s TDS return by reducing the TDS liability, or * If the TDS return is already filed, file a correction return.
---
**In summary:** You **adjust TDS liability on the net amount after considering credit notes**. Negative or refund of TDS is not a separate transaction but part of TDS return adjustment.
