Tds on processing fee for obtaining loan from NBFC

	TDS for processing fee from NBFC- should it be deducted under section 194J or 194A?

194A

Since processing fee is covered under the meaning of interest as defined u/s 2(28A) of the IT Act  to my view hence it need no further explanation and no TDS provisions apply if paid to banks.

As per Sec 194A if Interest (which includes Processing fees ) is paid to the banking company regulated by Banking Regulation act, it is exempt from TDS deduction ,but since the NBFCs are not governed by Banking Regulation Act, interest paid to NBFCs is subject to TDS deduction u/s 194A

	Thank you so much. So with reference to the particular section mentioned above the same would fall under section 194A.

Jee.

Though I agree as above........

But an interesting case law in this chapter....

No disallowance for interest paid to NBFC without TDS deduction....
