Dear,
As per Lattest amendment on tds, TDS transaction below the specified limit all section except Sec-192B should be disclosed in TDS return with "Y" flag. When we enter the transaction in WEBTEL without deductee PAN No, The software autometically deduct 20% TDS. otherwise the softare doesn't accept the entry.

AND

Sec 206AA told that if the deductee doesn't provide the PAN No to the deductee, the TDS rate will be 20% instead of the respective rate as per secrtions. (SPECIFIC LIMIT NOT MENTIONED)

Regards

I dont think so. The need for PAN comes when there s a liability to deduct tax arises. In the present case, only when the amount crosses rs.75000 / rs.30000, tax liabilty arises and deduction has to be made @ 20%.

Applicability of this section in case of payments (other than salaries) to residents when payment does not exceed the threshold limit specified in respective sections

· In case of payments or credits of payments which are covered by Sec 193 – Sec 194 LA the threshold limit as notified under the respective sections should be taken into consideration.

· The sections mentions clearly that no tax is required to be deducted where the amount or income or as the case may be the aggregate amounts of such income are paid or likely to be paid during the financial year by the aforesaid person to the account of the payee does not exceed the threshold limit mentioned in the respective sections.

· Thus when tax is not required to be deducted under these sections, Sec 206 AA cannot be activated even if the recipient does not furnish his PAN.
