Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies whether Tax Deducted at Source (TDS) is applicable on maintenance bills for residential quarters managed by co-operative housing societies. The consensus is that TDS is generally not applicable on contributions made by members towards joint expenses like maintenance, municipal taxes, and utilities, due to the principle of mutuality. However, TDS would apply to any income generated by the society itself, such as rent or commission.

No. TDS not applicable over the contributions made by members.

Thank You Sir,

Is there any Circular for this?

TDS is applicable over any income generated by society like rent, commission etc. but not over contribution made by members (mutuality concept). Don't remember any circular now.
