TDS on large cash withdrawals: deduction at payment with exemptions for banks and regulated intermediaries, non filer rule absent here. Clause 393(3) requires banks, co operative societies engaged in banking and post offices to deduct two per cent TDS at the time of cash payment where aggregate withdrawals from one or more accounts of a recipient exceed prescribed thresholds, with a higher threshold for co operative societies; Clause 393(4) exempts payments to the Government, banks, post offices, regulated business correspondents and authorised white label ATM operators. The Bill mirrors the existing framework but, in the extracted text, omits an explicit non filer regime and express central government notification powers, creating potential operational and interpretive uncertainty.
TDS on high-value payments by individuals/HUFs expands withholding obligations for contractual, professional and commission disbursements. Clause 393(1)[Table: S.No. 6(ii)] requires TDS by individuals or HUFs (not otherwise liable under specified TDS entries) on payments to a resident for carrying out work (including supply of labour), fees for professional services, or commission/brokerage (excluding insurance commission) where aggregate payments to the payee in a tax year exceed a prescribed threshold; deduction is at the time of credit or payment and the clause is integrated into a tabular TDS framework necessitating aggregation, with definitions and certain procedural relaxations left to rules or guidance.
TDS on interest for foreign borrowings consolidated under new clause, keeping concessional framework but raising definitional and transition issues. Clause 393(2) consolidates concessional TDS treatment for interest to non residents on foreign currency borrowings, rupee denominated bonds and IFSC listed bonds, aligning mechanics and cut off windows with Section 194LC while differing in presentation and reliance on external definitions; Central Government approval remains a condition for specified instruments and drafting gaps on limits, definitions and transitional treatment may require subordinate rules to avoid interpretive disputes.
TDS on securitisation trust distributions: uniform 10% for residents, treaty rates for non-residents, no threshold. Clause 393 mandates TDS on distributions by a securitisation trust: Clause 393(1) imposes 10% TDS on any income paid to resident investors with no threshold, deducted at the earlier of credit or payment by the trust; Clause 393(2) requires withholding on non-resident investors at rates in force, permitting treaty relief. Both provisions treat credits (including to suspense accounts) as TDS events and require trusts to maintain documentation of payee status and treaty claims.
TDS on investment fund distributions: withholding applies, with treaty relief and exemptions for non taxable income. TDS on distributions by investment funds requires withholding at applicable resident and non resident rates at the earlier of credit or payment, excluding any portion of income that is statutorily exempt. Funds must determine and segregate taxable versus exempt portions of mixed income, apply treaty or domestic rates for non residents upon proper documentation, and maintain records to support exemptions or reduced rates, while coordinating these obligations with other TDS provisions to avoid double deduction.
TDS on business trust distributions: differentiated resident/non resident rates and SPV contingent exemptions under the Income Tax Bill, 2025. Clause 393 of the Income Tax Bill, 2025 mandates 10% TDS on distributed income to resident unitholders, differentiated rates for non-resident unitholders (including lower rates for certain interest-type distributions and "rates in force" for others), and exempts specified distributions from TDS where the underlying SPV has not opted for the concessional tax regime, thereby tying withholding obligations to the SPV's tax-regime choice.
TDS on infrastructure debt fund interest: concessional withholding retained for non-resident investors, deducted at credit or payment. Clause 393(2)[Table: S.No. 5] retains a concessional TDS regime for any income by way of interest paid by an infrastructure debt fund listed in Schedule VII to a non resident (including foreign companies), requiring deduction at source at the specified concessional rate at the earlier of credit or payment, with no monetary threshold, and integrated within the Bill's harmonised TDS framework that addresses procedural rules, exceptions, grossing up, and interaction with double taxation treaties.
TDS on land acquisition compensation maintained; threshold and RFCTLARR Act exemptions preserved, procedural consolidation introduced. Clause 393 of the Income Tax Bill, 2025 mandates TDS at 10% on any sum in the nature of compensation or enhanced compensation, or consideration or enhanced consideration, for compulsory acquisition of immovable property (other than agricultural land), when amounts paid or credited to a resident exceed Rs. 5,00,000 in a financial year; Clause 393(4) exempts awards or agreements exempt from income-tax under the RFCTLARR Act, and deduction is required at the earlier of payment or credit.
TDS on mutual fund distributions: withholding required at source with exclusion for capital gains, subject to threshold rules. Clause 393 consolidates TDS on income from units of specified mutual funds and analogous instruments, requiring deduction by any payer at the prescribed rate at the time of credit or payment, subject to an aggregate threshold, while expressly excluding receipts that are of the nature of capital gains; the provision retains deeming rules for suspense accounts and links to cross referenced exemptions and schedules for definitions, thereby centralising administrative obligations and necessitating payer systems to characterise payments and aggregate receipts for threshold application.
TDS on professional and technical services clarified: consolidated rates, threshold and personal-payment exemption streamline withholding obligations. Clause 393(1) requires TDS by a specified person on resident payments for professional services, technical services, director's fees (non-salary), royalty and related sums, with distinct lower rates for certain technical, cinematographic and call-centre payments and a higher rate for other cases, deductible at the earlier of payment or credit and applicable only above the prescribed threshold. Clause 393(4) exempts individuals and HUFs from TDS where payments are made exclusively for personal purposes.
TDS on monetary consideration under development agreements - deduction at credit or payment with no threshold. Clause 393(1)[Table: S.No. 3(ii)] requires TDS on any monetary consideration under agreements referred to in section 67(14), applying to any payer, excluding in-kind consideration, with deduction at the earlier of credit or payment, no monetary threshold, and an explicit rule that where both general immovable property TDS and S.No. 3(ii) apply, deduction is to be made only under S.No. 3(ii).
TDS on rent expanded to include equipment and furnished premises, increasing withholding scope and compliance for individuals and HUFs. Clause 393(3)[Table: S.No. 2(ii)] expands TDS on rent by subjecting payments for use of land, buildings, furniture, fittings, machinery, plant and equipment to withholding by specified persons where monthly payments exceed the threshold; it prescribes asset based rates and requires deduction at the earlier of credit or payment for the last month of the tax year or tenancy, while providing a declaration mechanism for nil deduction and procedural reliefs for small non business payers.
TDS on immovable property transfers requires deduction on the higher of consideration or stamp duty value at payment or credit. Clause 393(1)[Table: S.No. 3(i)] requires TDS on transfers of immovable property (excluding agricultural land) where either the consideration or the stamp duty value exceeds the threshold. The transferee is the payer required to deduct tax at a fixed percentage of the higher of consideration or stamp duty value, with deduction at the time of credit or payment. Aggregation of amounts across multiple transferees and transferors applies, and the table provides tie breaker rules and specific exclusions such as compulsory acquisition.
TDS on rent: payer-based uniform and differentiated withholding alters withholding obligations and REIT exemption treatment. Clause 393 requires TDS on rent to residents where monthly rent exceeds the threshold, with deduction at the earlier of credit or payment. Non-specified payers withhold at a uniform low rate for all asset types, while specified persons withhold at differentiated rates for machinery/plant/equipment versus land/building/furniture/fittings. The Bill maintains an exemption from TDS for payments to REITs in respect of directly owned real estate assets and preserves rules treating suspense-account credits as payment for withholding purposes.
TDS on commission and brokerage: Bill preserves current threshold and rate and maintains targeted exemptions for telecom franchisees. Clause 393(1) mandates that a specified person deduct TDS at two percent on resident commission or brokerage payments (excluding insurance commission) when aggregate payments exceed the statutory threshold, with deduction at the earlier of credit or payment and anti avoidance deeming for suspense accounts. Clause 393(4) preserves a targeted exemption for certain telecom franchisee payments, maintaining continuity with existing sectoral relief and reducing compliance burdens.
TDS on lottery-related payments: unified withholding on commissions and prizes with harmonized threshold and deduction rate. Clause 393(3)[Table: S.No. 4] consolidates TDS on payments to persons engaged in stocking, distributing, purchasing or selling lottery tickets, requiring any person making payments of commission, remuneration or prize to deduct tax at the earlier of credit or payment; it includes a deeming fiction treating credits to suspense or intermediary accounts as credit to the payee and imposes standard deductor duties of deposit, certification and return-filing, while leaving aggregation rules and characterization of complex incentive structures unclear.
TDS on national savings withdrawals: mandatory deduction at source with defined threshold and exemptions for individuals and heirs. Clause 393(3)[Table: S.No. 6] requires any person responsible for paying amounts referred to in section 80CCA(2)(a) to deduct income-tax at the rate of 10% at the time of payment where the amount or aggregate amount paid during the tax year exceeds Rs. 2,500; the Table under sub-section (4), Sl. No. 19, exempts payments made to an assessee who is an individual and to the heirs of an assessee, and payers must deposit TDS, file returns, and issue certificates in accordance with the procedural framework.
Source-based taxation requires payers to withhold tax on non-resident sports and entertainment fees, ensuring collection at source. Clause 393(2)[Table: S.No.1] mandates a tax deduction at source on payments to non-resident sportsmen, entertainers, and non-resident sports associations or institutions for income referred to in section 211, imposing the obligation on any person making the payment to deduct tax at the earlier of credit or payment. The provision specifies a flat withholding rate, explicitly addresses grossing up for net-of-tax contracts, and is integrated within wider TDS subsections providing exceptions and administrative rules.
TDS on non-exempt life insurance payouts: mandatory deduction on the taxable component with a declaration option to avoid deduction. Clause 393(1)[Table: S.No. 8(i)] of the Income Tax Bill, 2025 requires any person paying sums under a life insurance policy, including bonuses and excluding amounts not includible under Schedule II, to deduct TDS at 2% on the "income comprised in such sum". Deduction is required only where the aggregate payout to a payee in a tax year exceeds the specified threshold, and it must be effected at the earlier of credit or payment. Sub-section 6 allows a declaration for non-deduction where estimated aggregate income is below the exemption limit.
TDS on insurance commission: mandatory deduction at earlier of credit or payment, with threshold and declaratory relief. Clause 393(1)[Table: S.No.1(i)] requires deduction of tax at source on remuneration or reward for soliciting, procuring, continuing, renewing or reviving insurance business, payable by "any person", at the earlier of credit or payment, when aggregate payments to a payee exceed the specified threshold; rates are those in force and the provision expands scope to include incentives and other remuneration while providing a declaration-based mechanism for no deduction and deeming credit to suspense accounts as credit to the payee.

Transfer of right to use goods: contracts retaining operational control are service arrangements, not deemed sales under VAT.
The issue is whether supply agreements for cranes, trailers and tank trucks amount to a transfer of the right to use goods under the deemed sale provision. Applying the five BSNL tests-availability of goods, consensus on identity, transferee's legal right to use, exclusivity of use, and non transferability by owner-the contracts failed to meet the criteria. Contractors retained possession, crew, fuel, maintenance and liability, and transferees had only permissive use without effective control, so the arrangements were services, not deemed sales under VAT/sales tax.
