Quick Summary
Section 194Q of the Income Tax Act requires buyers to deduct TDS on purchases exceeding Rs 50 lakhs. This limit is indeed checked for each financial year. The deduction applies to the sum exceeding Rs 50 lakhs at a rate of 0.1% and is triggered at the time of credit or payment, whichever is earlier.
194Q. [1] Any person, being a buyer who is responsible for paying any sum to any resident [hereafter in this section referred to as the seller] for purchase of any goods of the value or aggregate of such value exceeding fifty lakh rupees in any previous year, shall, at the time of credit of such sum to the account of the seller or at the time of payment thereof by any mode, whichever is earlier, deduct an amount equal to 0.1 per cent of such sum exceeding fifty lakh rupees as income-tax.
