This discussion clarifies the necessity of Forms 15CA and 15CB when making payments in foreign currency for imported services. Form 15CA is generally mandatory for remittances to NRIs or foreign companies. Form 15CB is required if the remittance is taxable (subject to TDS) and exceeds £5 lakhs annually, needing certification from a Chartered Accountant. The query also touches upon whether these forms need to be refiled for instalment payments.
Form 15CA is mandatory if remittance is made to NRI or Foreign Company (What PART is to be to filled that depends on your case) Whereas Form 15CB is required if such remittance is liable to tax i.e. TDS and such remittance or total remittance to such party exceeds ₹5 lakhs in a year. Form 15CB is issued by a CA wherein he/she certifies that tax has been deducted properly on such transfer.
