Earlier Section 194R · Codes 1033, 1034
From 1 April 2026, TDS on a benefit or perquisite arising from a business or profession is deducted under Section 393(1), Table Sl. No. 8(iv), of the Income-tax Act, 2025. It was earlier deducted under Section 194R of the Income-tax Act, 1961.
| Payment | New section | Code | Rate | Threshold | Old section |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Benefit or perquisite arising from business or profession | 393(1) Sl. No. 8(iv) | 10331034 if given in kind | 10% | ₹20,000 | 194R |
TDS is deducted at 10% where the value exceeds ₹20,000. The section code is 1033, or 1034 where the benefit is given in kind.
Worked example. On ₹50,000, TDS at 10% (code 1033) is ₹5,000, and ₹45,000 is paid.
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.
