Earlier Section 194Q · Code 1031
From 1 April 2026, TDS on the purchase of goods is deducted under Section 393(1), Table Sl. No. 8(ii), of the Income-tax Act, 2025, with section code 1031. It was earlier deducted under Section 194Q of the Income-tax Act, 1961.
| Payment | New section | Code | Rate | Threshold | Old section |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Purchase of goods (on the amount above ₹50 lakh) | 393(1) Sl. No. 8(ii) | 1031 | 0.1% | ₹50 lakh; TDS on the sum exceeding it | 194Q |
TDS is deducted at 0.1% on the amount of purchases exceeding ₹50 lakh. It concerns sellers of goods whose buyers have a turnover exceeding ₹10 crore.
Worked example. On purchases of ₹60,00,000, TDS at 0.1% on the ₹10,00,000 above ₹50,00,000 is ₹1,000.
Rates are before any surcharge and cess. Lower-deduction certificates, payees without a PAN and other conditions in the Act can change the TDS. This page is a general guide, not tax advice: confirm with your CA or the sources below.
