Tax deduction on interest income: large co-operative societies must withhold tax when turnover and per payee interest exceed specified thresholds.
The amendment narrows exemptions in section 194A(3) so that a co operative society otherwise exempt under clause (v) or (viia) must deduct tax at source if it exceeds a specified turnover threshold in the preceding year and if the interest credited or paid to a payee in the financial year exceeds specified per payee thresholds, with separate thresholds for senior citizens and others.

Interest limitation carve-out excludes debt from permanent establishments of foreign banks from interest disallowance under amended rules.
The amendment provides that the interest limitation will not apply to interest paid in respect of debt issued by a lender which is a permanent establishment of a non-resident engaged in banking in India, thereby carving out loans from branches of foreign banks from the section 94B restriction and avoiding application of the earnings based disallowance to such debt.
