Disclaimer: Indicative estimate under Section 194Q of the Income-tax Act, 1961. Actual liability depends on aggregate purchases across the FY, prior deductions and applicable circulars. Rates per Finance Act 2025.
Section 194Q — TDS on purchase of goods
A buyer whose total sales, turnover or gross receipts exceeded ₹10 crore in the immediately preceding financial year must deduct TDS at 0.1% on the purchase of goods from a resident seller, but only on the value that exceeds ₹50 lakh in the financial year. If the seller has not furnished a valid PAN, the rate jumps to 5%.
Rate & threshold — at a glance
TDS is charged only on the slice of purchases above the ₹50 lakh threshold, not on the whole invoice value. The rate depends purely on whether the seller has furnished a valid PAN.
| Up to ₹50,00,000 | Nil |
| Above ₹50,00,000 | 0.1% |
| Up to ₹50,00,000 | Nil |
| Above ₹50,00,000 | 5% |
How 194Q TDS is calculated
Take the total purchases from the seller in the FY → subtract the ₹50 lakh threshold → apply 0.1% (or 5% without PAN) on the balance. Here is what a buyer with turnover above ₹10 crore deducts at different purchase levels:
Key terms explained
₹50 lakh threshold
TDS under 194Q applies only on purchases above ₹50,00,000 from a single resident seller in the FY. The first ₹50 lakh is exempt; the rate applies only to the excess.
Buyer turnover test
Only a buyer whose turnover exceeded ₹10 crore in the immediately preceding financial year is liable to deduct 194Q. Smaller buyers are outside the section entirely.
194Q vs 206C(1H)
If both the buyer's 194Q and the seller's 206C(1H) could apply on the same transaction, 194Q prevails — the buyer deducts TDS and the seller does not collect TCS.
Timing & no PAN
Deduct at the time of credit or payment, whichever is earlier. If the seller has not furnished a valid PAN, deduct at the higher 5% rate under Section 206AA.
Questions people ask
Short answers on TDS on Purchase (194Q). Tap a question to open it.
01Who has to deduct under section 194Q?
A buyer whose total sales, turnover or gross receipts exceeded ₹10 crore in the immediately preceding financial year, on purchases of goods from a resident seller exceeding ₹50 lakh in the year.
02At what rate and on what amount?
0.1% on the value of purchases exceeding ₹50 lakh from that seller in the financial year — not on the whole purchase value. The rate is 5% where the seller has not furnished a PAN.
03Does GST form part of the amount?
Where TDS is deducted at the time of credit, the CBDT has clarified that tax is deducted on the value excluding GST, provided GST is shown separately. Where it is deducted on payment, the deduction is on the whole amount paid.
04How does 194Q interact with TCS on sale of goods?
Section 206C(1H) was withdrawn from 1 April 2025, so the earlier priority rule is no longer needed — the buyer's obligation under 194Q now stands on its own.
05What happens if the buyer does not deduct?
Interest under section 201(1A), and disallowance of 30% of the purchase expenditure under section 40(a)(ia) — which is usually far more costly than the tax itself.
