 10).Section 194-I Shall not applicable on cooling charges paid by the various customers to the
owners of cold storages.
 (The matter has been examined. The main function of the cold storage is to preserve perishable goods by
means of a mechanical process, and storage of such goods is only incidental in nature. The customer is
also not given any right to use any demarcated space/place or the machinery of the cold store and thus
does not become a tenant. Therefore, the provision of 194-I is not applicable to the cooling charges
paid by the customers of the cold storage.
 However, since the arrangement between the customers and cold storage owners are basically contractual
in nature, the provision of section 194-C will be applicable to the amounts paid as cooling charges
by the customers of the cold storage. This may be brought to the notice of the Assessing Officers under
your charge.
 Section 194 I is many time overlapping the section 194 c ,like if person takes a car on a hire than there are
different view for applicability of section 194c/194I,i hope CBDT will be kind enough to issue more
clarification on this issue.)
 12.SECTION 194-I TDS ON RENT PAYEE MUST HAVE CONTROL OVER ASSET:[ Chattisgarh
State Electricity Board vs. ITO (ITAT Mumbai) ](There is a distinction between the use of an asset and the
benefit derived from an asset. In a transaction of hire/ leasing, the possession of the goods and its effective
control is given to the customer and the customer has the freedom and choice of how to use the asset. On
the other hand, if the customer entrusts to the assessee the work of achieving a certain desired result and
that involves the use of goods belonging to the owner, the control of the asset remains with the owner and
there is no use by the customer (Asia Satellite 332 ITR 340 (Del) followed, Japan Airlines 325 ITR 298 (Del)
& Krishna Oberoi )
 On facts, the transmission lines were under the possession & control of Power Grid. The assessee was
merely enabled to use the services of transmission of electricity and not the use of transmission wires per
se. The assessee was not involved in the in the actual operations of the transmission lines. The
transmission wires were also used by other customers of Power Grid. Consequently, the payments were not

 8) Property owned by co-owners
Tax is deductible from payment by way of rent, if such payment to the payee during the year is likely to be
Rs. 1,20,000/- or more. If there are more than one payees, each having a definite and ascertainable share in
the property, the limit of Rs. 1,20,000/- will apply to each of the payee/ co-owners separately. The payers
and payee are, however, advised not to enter in to shame agreement to avoid TDS provisions. The Limit
of Rs. 120000/- has been increased to Rs 1,80,000 w.e.f 01.07.2010. Circular No. 715 dated 8th August,

apart from the lapse in deduction of tax at source, the recipient of income has failed to pay such tax
directly. S. 201(1) imposes vicarious (and not penal) liability on the payer to make good the shortfall in tax
collection. If the tax liability is discharged by the recipient of income, the vicarious liability cannot be
invoked.)

.
 Who is liable to deduct tax?
 Any person as defined in section 2(31) shall deduct tax, which would include residents as well as
non residents. This means that non-residents are also obliged to deduct tax. This has also been
provided by way of clarificatory retrospective amendments in Finance Act, 2012.
 Who shall be the recipient?
 The section covers all non residents in its ambit as others have been covered under other sections.
 At what rate tax shall be deducted?
 The tax shall be deducted at the rate or rates in
 force as defined u/s 2(37A) i.e. the rate or rates of income-tax specified in this behalf in the Finance
Act of the relevant year or the rate or rates of income-tax specified in an agreement entered into or
notified by Central Government u/s 90 and 90A.
 When the tax should be deducted?
 As is evident from above tax shall be deducted at the time of payment thereof in cash or by the issue
of a cheque or draft or by any other mode, whichever is earlier. Further, the payer is bound to deduct
tax at source only if the tax is assessable in India. If tax is not so assessable, there is no question of
tax at source being deducted.
 What is the threshold limit for deduction of tax?
 There is no such threshold limit and tax is deductible even if payment is negligible.
 At what amount tax shall be deducted ?
 This point has been effectively dealt with by the Apex Court in Transmission Corporation of A.P.
Ltd. and Another v. CIT reported in - (2002-TII-01-SC-INTL) in which SC opined as under :
.
 1. Tax is deducted on ' any sum' on which income tax is leviable. That sum may be income or
income hidden or otherwise embedded therein.
 2. Scheme of TDS just not only applies on amount paid which wholly bears �income" character
such as salaried, dividend, interest on securities but also to gross sums the whole of which may not
be income or profits of recipient, such as payment to contractors
 3. The said TDS provisions are meant for tentative deduction of income-tax subject to regular
assessment .
 (Note-New sub section (7) has been inserted in section 195 w.e.f. 1.7.2012 wherein it has been provided that
CBDT may, by notification specify a class of persons or cases, where the person responsible for paying any sum to
a non-resident, whether taxable or not, shall make an application to the Assessing Officer to determine
appropriate proportion of sum chargeable to tax.)

Section 195 of the Act takes it essence itself
from the following sections of the act and articles of DTAA.
Of DTAA.
 What is meant by Non-Residents?
 Under Income Tax Act, non-residents or non-resident in India can be of two types: (a) Non-resident Indian - "Non- resident Indian" means an individual, being a citizen of India or
a person of Indian origin who is not a "resident".
 (b) Any other non-resident person � It will include Foreign Nationals or foreign companies.
.
 Sec 5(2) Scope of Total Income of Non-Resident
 It covers any income which is received or is deemed to be received in India or any income which
accrues or arises or is deemed to accrue or arise in India u/s 9 of Income Tax Act, 1961.
 Taxability of Income of Non Resident under ITA, 1961 vis-�-vis DTAA
 To prevent double taxation of the same income in the source and home country, Double Taxation
Avoidance Agreements have been entered into with several countries for granting double taxation
relief. The position of law is that the DTAA entered into by GOI overrides the domestic
law. This has been clarified by CBDT vide Circular No. 333 dated April 2, 1982. Therefore, the
income will be chargeable as per the provision of Income Tax or DTAA whichever is more beneficial
to the assessee, if there is treaty between India and other country. If there is no treaty available then
it shall be taxed in India as per the provisions of the ITA, 1961.
.
 Section 195 as regards the payer of any sum chargeable to tax applies to any person unlike certain
other sections relating to TDS and covers
 Individuals
 Hindu Undivided Families
 Firms and AOPs
 Non Residents
 Foreign Companies
 Persons having exempt income in India eg trusts and Non profit Organisations claiming exemption
under sections 10 and 11 of the Income Tax Act
 Any other juristic person irrespective of whether such person has an income chargeable to tax in
India or not
 payment by an Indian Branch of a Foreign Company to its overseas Head Office
In this context CBDT Circulars 649/31.3.1993 and 740 /17.4.1996 give some clarification. Further the
landmark Kolkota Tribunal judgment of ABN Amro Bank reported in 280 ITR 117 (Kol) also lays
down the law that if a deduction for interest payment by a branch to overseas head office is sought ,
then it is obligatory to deduct tax , since it presupposes a distinct Payer and Payee with separate
identities and makes section 195 applicable.
.
Whether TDS needs to be affected on mere reimbursement of expenses
This is a question on which no clear direction is available and keeping in line with the general trend of tax
judgments there are conflicting views held by the various courts and Tribunals in the country.
In the case of mere reimbursement of expenses, TDS need not be effected as ruled in the case of reimbursement
of out of pocket expenses to a noted Law firm .Clifford Chance 82 ITD 106(Mum). The most important recent
Judgement in Mahindra & Mahindra’s case reported in 10 SOT 896 Mumbai ITAT has also held that
reimbursement of expenses not having the character of income chargeable to tax under the provisions of the
IT Act cannot be subject to WHT
However where the cost of services is charged and recovered by way of reimbursement, even without any
profit element TDS will be applicable as ruled in the case of Arthur Andersen & Co by the Mumbai tribunal
reported in 94 TTJ 736 (Mum) There are also judgements which reflect that TDS under Section 195 will be
applicable even on mere reimbursement of expenses. This view finds support in the decisions given by
Cochin Refineries 222 ITR 354 (Kar) and HNS VSAT Inc 95 ITD 157 (Del ITAT) and also in
Hindalco 278ITR 125 (AT)
Sums Covered under the scope of Section 195(1)



All sums bearing the character of Income chargeable to tax under the provisions of the Income Tax Act 1961 are
covered
.
All sums in which income can reasonably be expected to be embedded are covered. This rule follows the judgement in
Transmissions corporation’s case 239ITR 587SC where the apex court has categorically ruled that a payer cannot sit in
judgement as to what proportion of the amount paid to the payee constitutes the income of the payee.


A Corollary to the above rule is that if it cannot be determined with any certainty as to what part of the payment
constitutes the income of the payee, then the payer is obliged to deduct tax on such gross amount. There are
mitigation provisions by application to the respective assessing officer by both the payer as well as the payee in certain
circumstances within the section itself


Even payments made in kind are subject to TDS under Section 195 as ruled in Kanchenjunga Sea Foods reported in
265ITR 644 (AP)


There is no obligation to deduct TDS on a payment made under the Decree of a court by a judgement debtor to a
decree holder as decided in L P Gupta v Biratnagar Jute Mills reported in 48ITR 653


There is no clear ruling on TDS in respect of Capital gains and one must take it up on a case to case basis.If no
mitigation is available even after application by either the payer or the payee , after disclosing the quantum of Capital
gains likely to be embedded in the payment , then TDS on the gross amount is advisable on the principle of ex
abundant Cautela ie by way of abundant caution to mitigate the consequences of non deduction to the payer.



TDS has to be effected even on net payments (TDS applicable on the gross amount) as decided in Raymond Ltd (86
ITD 791 Mum ITAT) or even on adjustment of dues (J B Boda & Co 223 ITR 271 SC)
 Further as per Sec 195(6) the person responsible for payment to a non resident shall
furnish the information relating to payment of any sum in Form No 15CA after
obtainning a certificate from a chartered accountant in Form 15CB .

and Form 15CB is not applicable for remittances towards import payments.
 Few banks are taking a declaration from Importers in their forwarding letter that given Import

 CA Certificate in Form 15CB:
 One of the important changes made by the notification 2013 was to reduce the
requirement of a Chartered Accountant (CA) certificate in Form 15CB for certain
payments. From October 1, 2013, CA Certificate in Form 15CB will not be required for
payments in first 2 categories. It means No CA Certificate for any payment that does
not exceed Rs. 50,000 or aggregate Rs. 250,000 during a financial year or if it is covered
in the specified list. The specified list specifies 28 nature of payments and also mentions
the purpose code for each nature.
 For any other payment, CA certificate in Form 15CB, which is completely revamped,
would be required. While Form 15CB kept the basic information the same, such as name,
address, country of remittance, amount of remittance, bank details, nature of
remittance, etc., it changed other important sections and would require Chartered
Accountants to determine taxability of the remittance as per Income Tax Act and DTAA,
relevant section of the IT Act or Article of DTAA, TDS rate and tax liability under both IT
Act and DTAA, basis of determination or reasons if not taxable.
 The duly signed Form 15CA & 15CB shall be submitted in dublicate to the RBI
/Authorized Dealer .The RBI /Authorized Dealer will then forward a copy of the
certificate and undertaking to the Assessing Officer concerned.
