First my question is: Can a limited company issue bonds? If yes, which TDS section will apply when the Return-on-Investment (ROI) payment is made? 194A or 193.
04 August 2023
Dear Sir, But Section 194A, talk about Bank or RD Intt. and Loan Intt. AND SECTION -193 talk about interest on Bonds, Debenture and Securities.
05 August 2023
Dear Sir, Our Company is Public Ltd.(unlisted). We offer our customers an Investment Plan :- Agreements Clause:- Our Company is group of companies doing its business as Real Estate Firm doing its business in benefits in insfrastructure development, Plotting, Flats, Construction.
“Investment” means all the various Investments including, Real Estate and asset-backed investments in accordance with the terms of this agreement that have been, are being or will be entered into by the investment Manager for and on account of the investors.
The will pay total amount of investor (including Principal amount and Profit sharing amount) to the customer against his investment.
The Company will pay their profit sharing amount on monthly basis on their respective bank accounts.
Now, My question is that, which Tds Section will be applicable on this scenario, Section 193 (Interest on Securities) or Section 194A (interest other than interest on securities).
20 August 2023
Section 193 is a provision under the Indian Income Tax Act, 1961 that pertains to the deduction of tax at source (TDS) on interest income earned from securities. This section mandates that any company or institution that makes payment of interest on securities to a resident of India should deduct TDS on the interest paid.
As per the new Budget, From 1st April 2023, 10% TDS will be deducted from the interest income generated from Listed Bonds, and 20% TDS (as it was already subject to TDS under the IT Act) will be deducted from the interest income generated from Unlisted Bonds.
If you belong to the tax-exempt category or are subject to a lower income tax rate (below 10%), the interest earned from bonds will still be taxed at your relevant income tax slab rate. However, you can avoid a TDS deduction on your interest income by submitting Form 15G or Form 15H to the bond-issuing company. But in order to do that, a PAN card is compulsory. If the recipient of payment does not provide their Permanent Account Number (PAN), the deductor will be responsible for deducting TDS at the highest marginal rate.
