Section 194M of the Income Tax Act mandates a 5% TDS deduction on payments made by individuals or HUFs (who are not liable for audit) to contractors, provided the aggregate payments exceed ₹50 lakh in a financial year. This rate was reduced to 3.75% after 14th May 2020. The section is effective from 1st September 2019, and TDS applies to payments made after this date, even if the contract predates it. Companies are not covered under this section and must adhere to other relevant TDS provisions.
If Payment made to contractor by Individuals/HUF (Non audit) under section 194M then you required to deduct TDS @ 5% on total sum ,if amount exceed 50 in a Financial year.
Yes, this section is applicable only when your payment exceed the limit of 50,00,000/- in a Financial year.
Section 194M will be effective from 1 September 2019 onwards. TDS amount will be deducted on any payment made after this date even if the contract existed before, provided the payment exceeds Rs 50,00,000.
@ Nidhi ji This section is applicable w.e.f 01 September, 2019...so if you made any payment before this date, than there is no requirement to deduct TDS, but after this date for calculation of threshold of 50lakh you have to consider that amount also.
@ Sakthi ji Yes, if you forget to deduct TDS, than you can submit form 26A
