CIT (Appeals) was not correct in law that the assessee will be liable to deduct the TDS if the amount of a single contract exceeds Rs. 20,000/-. The contract has to be looked into party-wise not on the basis of the individual GR. In our opinion, all the payments made to a truck owner throughout the year are to be aggregated to ascertain the applicability of the TDS provision
The labour sardars are employed/deployed by the labour union to collect the money in bulk and distribute the same amongst the labourers, who are ultimate beneficiaries and not the labour sardars i.e in question. These labour sardars are remunerated by the union only for the job done. The collected money distributed amongst the labours/ labourers by the labour sardars on behalf of assessee and as such deducting of TDS from the said payment amount does not arise at all.
One of the classic controversies, lasting for more than a decade, is disallowance for non-deduction/payment of TDS on domestic payments u/s 40a(ia).
Appellant has been held liable as assessee in default merely due to technical flaws. Demand has been raised merely due to fault of system and in view of the CBDT’s Instruction No.5/2013 dated 08.07.2013, the demand cannot be sustained.
Section 40(a)(ia) covers not only those cases where the amount is payable but also when it is paid. In this behalf, one has to keep in mind the purpose with which Section 40 was enacted and that has already been noted above.
If the assessee is able to establish that it was only a notional provision which was reversed afterwards, then no TDS liability can be imposed on the assessee.

The credit of TDS deducted and deposited in the old name and old PAN No. and the credit of the same was not given to the assessee on account of mismatch, though entity is the same.

In my earlier article I have made a discussion about the disallowance when the amount is payable to a non-resident /foreign company but TDS is not deducted by the payer . Section 40(a)(ia) deals with the situation when the amount is payable to a resident . Hereon also we will discuss the complete scenario in parts to have a better understanding .
