Yes — issuing credit notes to customers for achieving sales targets generally falls under Section 194R of the Income-tax Act, since it is treated as a benefit or perquisite arising from business. If the aggregate value of such benefits exceeds ₹20,000 in a financial year, the provider must deduct TDS at 10% before granting the benefit.
