Allowance of Tax Deducted at Source (TDS) claimed by a "Kaccha Aaratiya" (commission agent) engaged in selling agricultural produce on behalf of farmers. The key points are: The assessee, a Kaccha Aaratiya, is entitled to claim TDS credit u/ss 194A (interest income) and 194H (commission income) as the entire income on which TDS was deducted is duly offered for taxation.

Regarding TDS u/s 194Q (purchase of goods), the assessee is eligible to claim credit as they merely facilitate the sale between farmers and principal buyers, earning only commission.
