194 C Aggregate limit Reg

Hi

We have purchased machinery from the supplier for Rs,200,000 on May 2021 (erection charges free)

for the same machine, we have taken AMC worth 17,000 (including GST) on November 2021.

Now our internal auditors asking to deduct TDS under section 194 C for AMC transactions.

they are mentioning the 194 C rule Aggregate limit has crossed.

Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies the application of TDS under Section 194C for machinery purchases and Annual Maintenance Contracts (AMC). It explains that TDS is not applicable on the machinery purchase itself. For AMC, the aggregate limit for TDS deduction under Section 194C is Rs. 30,000 per bill. If individual bills do not exceed this threshold, no TDS deduction is required at present.

Both transaction are under different heads of account...

For AMC the TDS limit has not crossed, so liability doesn't arise.

Only the AMC fees are subject to TDS and since they don't cross the limit, no need for deduction.

In my opinion, no TDS will apply in case of purchase of machinery.

Further, in case of AMC charges paid, the threshold limit per bill is Rs. 30,000. So you are not required to deduct nay TDS at present.
