AI Summary

TDS on GST remains suspended pending guidance, clarifying GST is separate from income tax withholding regime.
The forum concludes that TDS on GST is not automatically governed by the Income Tax Act and that TDS/TCS postponed in relation to GST; stakeholders are referred to Income Tax Circular No. 23/2017 for authoritative guidance and to await formal notifications before treating GST as subject to income-tax withholding obligations.
