Excess TDS on Contracts

Taxable Amount + GST = Total Amount.
If I deduct TDS on total amount in place of taxable amount is there any violence of law. Dose any problem arise in future??

Quick Summary
This discussion addresses the issue of deducting Tax Deducted at Source (TDS) on the total contract amount, including Goods and Services Tax (GST), instead of just the taxable amount. While deducting TDS on GST is not technically a violation of law if the amount is deposited and filed correctly, it's advised to deduct only on the taxable value going forward. Rectification can be done by filing a revised TDS return if excess TDS has already been deducted.

TDS applicable on taxable income of recipient ..Gst component not at all income of recipient , ultimately they pay the Gst to govt ...thatwhy in context one provision taken place you cant deduct TDS on Gst component......
If you have already deducted it just pass on the benefit to the seller.
From future deduct only from taxable value.
Since you have deducted excess there is no violation of law as long as you deposit the same and file it in the TDS return.
Yes I agree with Zafar ,but prevention is better than cure ....try to adhere the provision , otherwise you have to fulfill extra statutory compliance
No problem as it goes ultimately to the deductee.
but you should go with law so follow as per law in future as said by our co-members.

No violation of provisions of law for excess deduction. However, the deductee might object to it. In respect of the transaction that has already been done, if you are able to convince the deductee no problem I think.

TDS is applicable only on taxable amount.TDS wrongly deducted on GST portion can be rectified by filling revised return.
