02 August 2016 if yes,, then how to deduct TDS

27 July 2025 Here's how TDS works on **interest payments to NBFCs via EMIs**:

---

### 1. **Is TDS applicable?**

* Yes, **TDS is applicable on interest payments made to NBFCs (Non-Banking Financial Companies)**.
* **Section 194A** of the Income Tax Act applies for TDS on interest other than interest on securities.
* Interest paid by you to NBFCs (other than scheduled banks) is **subject to TDS at 10%** if the total interest paid in a financial year exceeds โ‚น5,000.

---

### 2. **How to deduct TDS on interest in EMIs?**

* EMI (Equated Monthly Installment) usually includes **principal + interest**.
* You need to **calculate the interest component of each EMI separately**.
* Deduct TDS **only on the interest component** of the EMI payment.
* If total interest paid during the year crosses โ‚น5,000, deduct TDS @10% on interest.

---

### 3. **Practical steps:**

* **Obtain interest certificate or amortization schedule from NBFC** showing interest breakup.
* Deduct TDS @10% on interest part of each EMI.
* Deposit TDS with the government within the due dates.
* File TDS returns (Form 26Q).
* Provide TDS certificate (Form 16A) to the NBFC.

---

### 4. **Important Points:**

* If NBFC provides you a **lower or nil deduction certificate under Section 197**, you should deduct TDS as per that certificate.
* TDS is **not applicable on principal repayment**โ€”only interest component is considered.
* If the interest payment is to a **scheduled bank**, TDS is **not applicable**.
