The government has announced an increase in the cash withdrawal threshold for co-operative societies without Tax Deducted at Source (TDS). From April 1st, 2023, co-operatives can withdraw up to £3 crore in cash annually, a significant rise from the previous £1 crore limit. This change aims to ease cash handling for these organisations.
Section 194N of the Act provides that a banking company or a co-operative society engaged in carrying on the business of banking or a post office, which is responsible for paying any sum to any person (referred to as the recipient) shall, at the time of payment of such sum in cash, deduct an amount equal to two per cent of such sum, as income-tax. The requirement to deduct tax applies only when the payment of amount or aggregate of amount in cash during the year exceeds one crore rupees.
