Regarding **TDS on Death Compensation to Dependants**:
* **Is TDS applicable?**
No, **TDS is not applicable** on death compensation paid to dependants.
* **Under which section is TDS not applicable?**
Death compensation paid to dependants is treated as a **compensation** or **gratuity payment** arising out of unfortunate circumstances and is **exempt from tax** under the Income Tax Act.
Hence, it **does not attract TDS** under any section.
* **Reasoning:**
Such payments are generally outside the scope of income chargeable under the Income Tax Act, and therefore TDS provisions do not apply. They are not considered income but compensation for loss.
If needed, you may refer to circulars or ITAT rulings where payments like **compensation, gratuity on death or retirement, and similar ex-gratia payments** have been held non-taxable or exempt.
