Dear Ratan,

Agree that TDS is liable to be deducted u/s. 195(e) on Interest paid on monies borrowed in foreign currency but whether it is also applicable to loans taken from banking company. Whether sec 194A(3)(iii) which exempts TDS deduction in case of interest is paid to banking company to which Banking Regulation Act, 1949 is applicable, also applies to loans taken in foreign currency from foreign banks?

 

Dear Rachit,

Good question Brother,but I think Banking Regulation Act 1949 does not apply to Foreign Banks....

So TDS will apply, But i m not sure let others reply.........
