Quick Summary
This discussion addresses a common query regarding Tax Deducted at Source (TDS) on contract payments. The user failed to deduct TDS on an initial payment of ₹75,000 for a ₹1,50,000 contract and is now seeking guidance on deducting TDS on the remaining ₹75,000 payment. The advice provided clarifies that TDS should have been deducted at the time of credit or payment, whichever was earlier, and that penalties, interest, and late fees may apply due to the failure to deduct tax on the initial amount.

In my opinion,sec 194c will be attracted and you should have been deducted tax at the credit or payment whichever is earlier.in your case, penalty will be charged since failure to deduct tax .

Tax to be deducted at source on ₹1.5 lacs. Interest would be payable in respect of late deduction of tax on advance payment of ₹75k.

Thankyou for valuable feedback
