TDS Rates • For payment to residents and domestic companies, there will be no surcharge and cess on the basic rate of TDS.

  • The proposed amendment is effective from 01-10-2009.
  • Rate of deduction: Rate of deduction is now based on the status of payee and not on the basis of type of payment.

Now the rate is 1% for payments made to individuals and HUF and 2% in other cases.
  • Contractor manufacturing is now covered as “work” and is liable to TDS under this section.
    • This is defined as manufacturing or supplying a product according to the requirement or specification of a customer by using material purchased from such customer, but does not include manufacturing or supplying a product according to the requirement or specification of a customer by using material purchased from a person, other than such customer.
    • If the invoice mentions value of material separately then such value will be excluded for calculation of TDS, in all other cases TDS will apply to total invoice value.

    • Need not deduct TDS if contractor furnishes PAN.
    • Will have to furnish information as may be prescribed.

Processing of eTDS Statements: Section 200A The proposed amendment is effective from 01-04-2010. This new section introduces processing of eTDS Statements in the following manner.

• Interest will be calculated.

• From the above actual amount paid will be deducted to arrive at TDS payable or refundable.

    Please confirm whether TDS/CESS/SURCHARGE need to be deducted OR NOT w.e.f. 01-OCT-2009 in case of interest amount on 8% Savings(Taxable) Bonds( issued by RBI) exceeding the limit of Rs.160000/- (for Male), Rs.190000/-(for Female) and Rs.240000/-(Sr.Citizen) or not. I think this comes u/s-193 of the I.T.Act.

    Your reply will be highly appreciated.

  30. Ragesh Parameswaran says:

    Rajesh,
    There is a new circular/notification wherein you need to get a certificate from CA before making payment to non resident assessees. Since there is nexus with India, Income Tax that prevails in India is applicable.Please check your DTAA (Double Taxation Avoidance Agreements) that prevails between India and US. If you dont deduct TDS the said expenses will be disallowed and there will attract penal provisions.

    Ragesh Parameswaran

  31. Rajesh says:

    But my CA is not able to provide me certificate that, TDS is not applicable and, i am not able to send payment vai wire transfer to my vender due to this. What should I do.

  32. Rajesh says:

    Yes, our vender is in US, but our CA is forcing me to detuct the TDS, while US vender says that he is not involving in Indian Tax laws, so he is not allowing me to detuct TDS.

  33. Deepak says:

    I want to know from what date is this rate list applicble??
