Union Budget 2024 New TDS Provisions

Section 194T – Payments to partners of firms

Starting from April 1, 2025, TDS will be applicable on payments made by a firm to its partners. Under Section 194T, if you receive salary, commission, bonus, or interest exceeding Rs. 20,000 in a financial year, the firm must deduct TDS at a rate of 10%. This deduction will occur either when the payment is credited to your account or when the payment is made, whichever comes first. It’s essential for partners to plan their withdrawals carefully, as this new provision will impact cash flow and tax liabilities.
