thanks for your immediate reply
but i need know why TCS and wht the objective of collecting tcs
The concept behind TCS is very simple, lets take a example of TCS on toll plaza is 2% i.e the the user have to 2% extra to the collector and who in turn pays to the govt. The concept behind this is that the govt cannot track you, so there would be a revenue loss for them, that’s why they allocated the responsibility to the toll collector, same reverse concept is in case of TDS i.e govt cant keep track on the receipient of money so they made responsible to the payer to deduct certain percentage.
you gave me the relevant reply. thanks
