Discussions address TDS obligations for rental and professional service payments where failure to deduct on provision led to assessment under withholding liability. For rent, absence of recipient declarations or proof of taxability and no evidence of payment despite provision, combined with a bank assessees access to expert advice, meant the proviso conditions were not satisfied and withholding liability was upheld, resulting in default treatment.
