(Salary, Interest, Commission to Partners – Ab TDS lagega?)
Real Problem – Ground Reality Samjho
Delhi-NCR me Karawal Nagar, Loni, Tronica City Industrial Area ya Roop Nagar Industrial Area ke bahut saare business owners (especially partnership firms & LLPs) ek common cheez bolte hain:
“Partner ko salary ya interest de rahe hain… ye to firm ke andar hi hai… TDS kahan se aa gaya?”
Seedhi baat:
Ab ye assumption safe nahi raha.
Finance Act, 2024 ke through ek naya section introduce hua hai — Section 194T, jo 01 April 2025 se applicable hai (AY 2026-27 onwards).
Ab firm/LLP ko apne partner ko diye gaye kuch payments par TDS deduct karna padega.
Section 194T – Seedhi Baat
Kya kehta hai law?
Agar partnership firm ya LLP apne partner ko payment karta hai, to TDS lagega:
Covered Payments:
- Salary / Remuneration
- Interest on capital
- Bonus / Commission
Threshold: ₹20,000 (aggregate in a financial year)
TDS Rate: 10%
Simple Table – Jaldi Samajhne ke liye
| Particulars | Section 194T |
| Applicable From | 01 April 2025 |
| Applicable To | Partnership Firm & LLP |
| Payment Type | Salary, Interest, Bonus, Commission |
| Threshold | ₹20,000 per year |
| TDS Rate | 10% |
| PAN not available | Higher rate u/s 206AA |
Example – Practical Case (Loni / Delhi NCR)
Case:
Firm: ABC Traders (Tronica City Industrial Area)
Partner: Mr. Raj
Payments during FY:
- Salary: ₹2,40,000
- Interest on capital: ₹60,000
Total Payment = ₹3,00,000
👉 Since total > ₹20,000
👉 TDS @ 10% = ₹30,000 deduct karna padega
Yeh Important Confusion Clear Kar Lo
Pehle kya hota tha?
- Firm ko deduction milta tha u/s 40(b)
- Partner ke haath me income taxable hoti thi
- TDS nahi lagta tha
Ab kya change hua?
- Same taxability rahegi
- BUT ab TDS bhi deduct karna padega u/s 194T
Section 194T vs Section 194J vs 194C
| Section | Kis par lagta hai | TDS Rate |
| 194T | Partner ko payment | 10% |
| 194J | Professional fees | 10% |
| 194C | Contractor payment | 1% / 2% |
👉 Partner ko diya gaya payment 194T me hi cover hoga, 194J ya 194C nahi lagega (subject to correct classification).
Kaun Log Impact Honge?
1. Amazon / Flipkart / Meesho Sellers
Jo partnership me kaam kar rahe hain (2–3 partners milke business chala rahe hain)
2. Local Traders (Loni, Main Loni Road, Sabhapur, Mustafabad)
Capital par interest dete ho ya fixed salary nikalte ho
3. Industrial Units (Tronica City, Roop Nagar Industrial Area)
Structured partnership setups me impact high hoga
4. Freelancers / Consultants (LLP Model)
LLP me partner ko monthly payout – ab TDS lagega
5. High Income Individuals
Tax planning ke liye LLP use kar rahe hain – compliance strict ho gaya
Problem → Solution Flow
Problem:
- “Hum to sirf internal adjustment kar rahe the”
- “Partner ko paisa diya… TDS ka kya lena dena?”
Reality:
- Law clearly bol raha hai – TDS mandatory
- Non-compliance = penalty + interest + disallowance risk
Solution:
- Partner-wise ledger maintain karo
- Annual total track karo (₹20,000 cross hote hi alert)
- Timely TDS deduction + deposit + return filing
Common Mistakes (Bahut log yahi galti karenge)
- TDS nahi kaatna (soch ke internal transaction hai)
- Threshold ignore karna (₹20,000 cumulative hota hai)
- PAN collect nahi karna partner ka
- Late TDS deposit
- Return (26Q) file nahi karna
Risk & Warning (Important – Ignore mat karo)
Aaj kal system alag level par kaam kar raha hai:
- TDS data → Income Tax Department
- Partner ka ITR → AIS/TIS me reflect hota hai
- Firm ka expense → Books + GST turnover
Agar mismatch hua to:
- Notice aa sakta hai
- Expense disallow ho sakta hai
- Interest u/s 201(1A) lag sakta hai
- Penalty bhi possible hai
👉 Specially Delhi-NCR areas jaise Gokulpuri, Sonia Vihar, Shiv Vihar me small businesses me ye risk zyada hai kyunki compliance tracking weak hoti hai
Important Legal Points
- Section 194T introduce hua Finance Act, 2024 se
- Applicable from FY 2025-26 (AY 2026-27)
- Payments covered subject to conditions
- Deduction u/s 40(b) still applicable (conditions ke saath)
- TDS compliance alag requirement hai
