Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies whether Tax Deducted at Source (TDS) is applicable on incentive payments made to labour contractors. It confirms that such incentives fall under Section 194C of the Income Tax Act, treating them similarly to payments for labour contracts. TDS must be deducted if payments exceed the specified thresholds: £30,000 for a single payment or £100,000 in aggregate annually. The TDS rates are 1% for individuals/HUFs and 2% for other entities, with a 20% rate if PAN is not provided.

Dear Sir,

It will step in same shoes of labour contractor. Same section 194C.

Under Section 194C you have to deduct TDS as mentioned below if you are making a one time payment exceeding Rs. 30,000/- or in aggregate yearly exceeds Rs. 100,000/- 

Rate of TDS u/s 194C

When provisions of section 194C of the Income Tax Act gets attracted, the Deductor is required to deduct TDS at the following rates –

Particulars Rate of TDS
Payment made / credited to an individual or HUF 1%
Payment made / credited to a person other than an individual or HUF 2%

However, in case the PAN is not furnished, the Deductor would be liable to deduct TDS @ 20% i.e. at the maximum marginal rate.

 

Section 194C states any person responsible for paying 'ANY SUM"... that means it includes all types of payment.
Hence if it exceeded the threshold limit then TDS should be deducted.
