New Validations
Separate flag for TDS transaction below threshold limit
- Tax is not to be deducted in case amount paid/ payable to a deductee is below prescribed threshold limit. Example : For Professional Fees threshold limit is Rs. 30,000.
- However, when payment subsequently exceeds threshold limit, tax has to be deducted on the past payments made without tax deduction also
Example :
10-04-2010 Professional Fees to ABC Consultants Rs. 20,000 No TDS
10-05-2010 Professional Fees to ABC Consultants Rs. 5,000 No TDS
10-09-2010 Professional Fees to ABC Consultants Rs. 15,000 TDS to be Deducted on 40,000
- Earlier there were no clear guidelines for reporting such transactions below threshold. Some deductors were reporting such transactions in statements , others were not. Those who reported such transaction, received notice from income tax department citing this as case of short-deduction.
- To remove such confusion , now it is required to report such transaction.
- Transaction below threshold limit must have : “Y” in the column “Reason for non deduction /lower deduction” , 0.00 as rate of Deduction, 0.00 as Amount Deducted, 0.00 as Amount Deposited
- Transaction where threshold limit is crossed and tax is deducted on past transactions also, rate has to be adjusted to show correct TDS amount. In the above example, it will be show as below
10-09-2010 Professional Fees to ABC Consultants Rs. 15,000 TDS to be Deducted on 40,000
TDS on Rs. 40,000 @ 10% = Rs. 4000
TDS Rate = 4000/15000 = 26.67%
New Fields

Dear Sir/Madam
Payment of Sitting fees to Non resident director. Maximum amount payable in a year is far below the taxable limit. In this case if we apply for non deduction certificate u/s 197 now NR PAN is compulsory. But procedure for obtaining a PAN for a Non resident that too related to non taxable amount(since far below the taxable limit)involves combersome procedure.
As per TINFC NR should attach copies of Visa/passport/driving licence/bank statement along with PAN application duly certified by Indian embassy in that country.While considering the quantum it is better to issue direction to concern officer for issue of order u/s 195(2) for non deduction of TDS based on genuiness.
Since there no clear cut instruction from Board we are finding it difficult for getting an order u/s 195(2). Need immediate attention by way of an instruction to solve the issue.
