Dear Friends,

Iam having a doubt on rounding off of TDS on Non Salary cases.

Is there any CBDT notifications/clarifications or Provisions in Income tax regarding rounding off of TDS in respect of payments made to Professionals/Contractors?

Why I am asking is that I have received from Income Tax Department a notice for short deduction of TDS on amount which is below one rupee.

Provisions of TDS are governed by Income Tax Act, 1961 and further Taxation Laws Amendment Act, 2006 modified Sec. 288B of Income Tax Act, which states that

Any amount payable, and the amount of refund due, under the provisions

of this Act shall be rounded off to the nearest multiple of ten rupees and for this

purpose any part of a rupee consisting of paise shall be ignored and thereafter if such

amount is not a multiple of ten, then, if the last figure in that amount is five or more, the

amount shall be increased to the next higher amount which is a multiple of ten and if the

last figure is less than five, the amount shall be reduced to the next lower amount which

is a multiple of ten.”.

that automatically includes TDS Provisions.
