Frequently asked questions
Can both 194Q and 206C(1H) apply on the same transaction?▾
No. If both 194Q and 206C(1H) are applicable, 194Q takes precedence and the seller need not collect TCS under 206C(1H).
Is 194Q applicable to purchase of services?▾
No. Section 194Q covers only goods. Purchases of services are covered by other sections (194C, 194J, etc.).
How is the ₹50 lakh threshold calculated?▾
The threshold applies per buyer-seller combination in a financial year. Once cumulative purchases from a single seller cross ₹50 lakh, TDS must be deducted on subsequent payments.
