TDS Provisions applicability Tax Audit Individual Cases

The increased limit of ₹10 crores applies to individuals only if their receipts and payments are non-cash, meaning digital or online transactions, and the total receipts or payments do not exceed 5% of the total business revenue.

For TDS purposes, the ₹1 crore limit still applies to individuals, unless they meet the non-cash transaction criteria. 

If an individual's business turnover exceeds ₹1 crore in the previous financial year, they are subject to tax audit and TDS provisions. However, if an individual's business has: - 

Turnover exceeding ₹1 crore but less than ₹10 crores - 

Non-cash receipts and payments exceeding 5% of total receipts or payments Then, the ₹10 crore limit applies, and they are not required to deduct TDS. 

"Request you to advise Will the increased limits of 10 crores in the Previous Financial year applicable to deduct TDS or 1 crore is applicable for Individual cases"

As per sec. 194A, 194H, 194I,194J, & 194C( through specified persons option) starts with...
