    TDS on purchase of goods: buyer withholding required, with precedence rules to avoid overlap with other withholding provisions.
    Clause 393(1)[Table: S.No. 8(ii)] imposes a TDS obligation on the buyer to deduct tax on purchases of goods from resident sellers once aggregate purchases from a seller in a financial year exceed the specified threshold, with deduction due at credit or payment, and a broad exclusionary clause preventing application where tax is deductible or collectible under any other provision of the Act.

    TDS on specified senior citizens centralises tax deduction at banks, relieving return filing when tax is correctly deducted at source.
    Specified banks are required to compute a specified senior citizen's total income after allowing Chapter VIII deductions and rebate, deduct tax at rates in force with a nil threshold, and remit TDS; an express precedence clause ensures this provision overrides other TDS provisions. The mechanism centralises compliance with banks obtaining declarations, maintaining evidence and records, thereby relieving eligible senior citizens from return filing provided the bank correctly applies deductions and remits tax.

    TDS on e-commerce: operators must withhold on gross platform-facilitated sales, with a small-seller exemption on conditions.
    E-commerce operators must withhold TDS on the gross amount of sales or services facilitated through their platforms, with withholding due at the earlier of credit or payment and including direct buyer payments as deemed payments by the operator. Deductions apply on a gross basis without netting fees, exclude operator receipts for unrelated services such as advertising, and take precedence over other TDS provisions. Individual and HUF participants with annual turnover below the legislated threshold who furnish PAN or Aadhaar are exempt from withholding.

    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 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(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.
