This discussion addresses how to account for TDS deducted under Section 194R on BPCL/HPCL Petro Cards when the reward points haven't been received in any account. The consensus is to treat Petro Points as current assets and TDS as a deduction. The points are considered a perquisite received from the oil company, with TDS deducted for not submitting a timely declaration. The accounting treatment involves debiting Petro Points, debiting TDS, and crediting perquisites, with Petro Points being nullified upon redemption for products or cash.

This is perquisite received from BPCL, Tds was deducted because declaration was not provided on time. And no further redemption of the same in upcoming years
