About this service

When an Indian company pays a non-resident — the parent, a group service company, an overseas contractor, a software vendor, a director abroad — it must withhold tax at source under Section 195 at the rate the Act or the treaty prescribes, deposit it, and report it quarterly in Form 27Q. Getting the rate wrong is not a technicality: the Indian payer becomes liable for the shortfall with interest, and the expense can be disallowed, so the cost lands twice. Group recharges are the usual problem, because nobody treats them as a payment abroad.

Frequently asked questions

When are TDS returns due?
Quarterly — broadly 31 July, 31 October, 31 January and 31 May for the preceding quarter.
Does a group cost recharge need withholding?
Very often yes, and it is routinely missed because it is treated as an internal transfer. The character of the underlying service decides it, not the label on the invoice.
Can we apply a treaty rate straight away?
Only if you hold the recipient's Tax Residency Certificate and Form 10F, and the treaty conditions are met. Without that documentation the domestic rate applies.
We under-deducted last year — what now?
Deposit the shortfall with interest and file a correction statement. Doing it voluntarily is materially better than waiting for a default notice.
