Some Example for better understanding of Section 194Q:-

Example no 1 –

Mr. Ram (Buyer) Purchases Goods worth Rs 80,00,000/-as on 31.07.2021 from Mr. Shyam (Seller). Turnover of Mr. Ram was Rs 10 Crore During the F.Y 2020-21.

Since the turnover of Mr. Ram being a buyer during the F.Y 2020-21 was up to Rs 10 Crore hence this Section does not get attracted – No TDS shall be deducted

Example no 2 –

Mr. Ram (Buyer) Purchases Goods worth Rs 80 Lakhs-as on 31.07.2021 from Mr. Shyam (Seller). Turnover of Mr. Ram was Rs 11 Crore During the F.Y 2020-21.

Since the turnover of Mr. Ram being a buyer during the F.Y 2020-21 was above Rs 10 Crore hence this Section gets attracted – The TDS shall be deducted @ 0.1% on Rs 30 Lakhs (80 Lakh-50 Lakh) since both the conditions has been satisfied.

Example no 3 –

Mr. Ram (Buyer) Purchases Goods worth Rs 80 Lakhs as on 31.07.2021 from Mr. Shyam (Seller). Turnover of Mr. Ram was Rs 11 Crore During the F.Y 2020-21 and also turnover Mr. Shyam was Rs 25 Crore during the F.Y 2020-21

Since the turnover of Mr. Ram and Shyam was more than 10 Crores during preceding F.Y 2020-21. hence provisions of both the section (i.e section 194 Q and Section 206C(1H)) will get attracted –TDS will be deducted under section 194Q Only as per provisions of Income Tax Act.

Example no 4 –

Mr. Ram (Buyer) Purchases Goods worth Rs 49 Lakhs as on 31.07.2021 from Mr. Shyam (Seller). Turnover of Mr. Ram was Rs 11 Crore During the F.Y 2020-21.

Since the Turnover of Preceding F.Y was more than 10 Crore of Mr. Ram but the purchase of goods does not exceed 50 Lakhs during 2021-22 hence No TDS shall be deducted.

Example no 5 –

Mr. Ram (Buyer) Purchases Goods worth Rs 49 Lakhs as on 31.07.2021 from Mr. Shyam (Seller). Turnover of Mr. Ram was Rs 11 Crore During the F.Y 2020-21 and also turnover Mr. Shyam was Rs 25 Crore during the F.Y 2020-21

Since the Turnover of Preceding F.Y was more than 10 Crore of Mr. Ram but the purchase of goods does not exceed 50 Lakhs during 2021-22 hence No TDS shall be deducted under section 194Q irrespective of the turnover of buyer or seller exceeds Rs 10 Crores during 2021-22
