Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies whether TDS needs to be deducted on interest paid to NBFCs for loans, specifically mentioning Kotak Mahindra Prime. Professionals confirm that TDS is indeed applicable under Section 194A for interest paid to NBFCs, as the exemption only applies to banks. A key challenge raised is how to deduct TDS when interest is part of regular EMI payments, often made via auto-debit. Suggested solutions include grossing up the interest, paying TDS, and then requesting a refund from the NBFC, which should be reflected in their 26AS.

1. kotak mahindra is not a nbfc
2.Int on loan is a deductible expense..if the assesse runs a business.
Sir Kotak Mahindra prime , not Kotak Mahindra Bank
Yes you are correct.
Yes, TDS is applicable on interest payable to NBFC. As per Section 194A, the exemption from TDS is only in case of interest payable to banks.

But the problem faced by deducters is how to deduct TDS on interest payment to NBFC as interest is including in installments and there is no way that payment can be done after deducting as, in most of the cases, companies pay EMI through auto debit or standing instructions or even ECS and it would not be possible to deduct TDS on every month's interest portion of EMI.

I think, Solution is to gross up the interest amount and pay TDS. After that we can ask for refund from NBFC of TDS deposited.

File TDS return after submitting the TDS, issue TDS certificate and ask for refund from NBFC as it will reflect in their 26AS.

other solutions are welcome....
Thank u sir
Say the interest amount is 10000. The borrower will make TDS payment of Rs.1000 and then quarterly TDS certificate to be submitted to NBFC and then the same is credited to the loan statement.
TDS SECTION STARTS FROM SEC 192 -SEC 192IA
