for purchase of goods under Section 194Q of the Income Tax Act, introduced vide Finance Act 2021

As per the Finance Act 2021, a new Section 194Q on ‘Deduction of tax at source on payment of certain
sum for purchase of goods’ is applicable w.e.f. from 1st of July 2021 in the Income Tax Act, wherein Buyer
carrying on a business whose Total Sales, Gross Receipts or turnover from the Business exceeds Rs 10
Crores during the financial year immediately preceding the Financial Year in which such goods are
purchased, shall deduct TDS under the Section 194Q of the Income Tax Act:

(a) At the rate of 0.1% of the Purchase Value exceeding Rs.50 lakhs (in aggregate) from a resident
person, at the time of making the payment.

(b) Where the PAN or Aadhar Number is not provided by the Seller, Tax shall be deducted at the rate
of 5%.

Further, where the section 194Q is applicable, the provisions of section 206C(1H) [TCS so far being
collected by HPCL as seller] will not be applicable.

Based on the above criteria, there are two types of customers, one with supply value more than Rs. 10
Crore and one with less than Rs. 10 Crore.

Customer with Supply Value more than Rs. 10 Cr.

If the supply value from HPCL/Dealer (as the case may be) to customer is more than Rs 10 crore, it will be
assumed that turn over of the customer is also more than Rs 10 Crore during the year 2020-21.

Accordingly, HPCL/Dealer (as the case may be) will discontinue collection of TCS for invoices to be raised
from 1st of July 2021 and customer shall deduct TDS u/s 194Q, in compliance with relevant provisions
including remittance of the TDS so deducted to the Govt and provide us necessary TDS Certificate. If in
case his turn over is less than Rs 10 Crore, he should confirm the same to the concerned Marketing Officer
of HPCL / Dealer respectively, through a letter.

Being mandatory provision for the Buyer to deduct Tax, in absence of the same, besides penal action if
any by Income Tax Dept directly on such defaulting buyers, additionally TCS has to be collected by
HPCL/Dealer (as the case may be) as seller.

Hence, customer should deduct TDS to avoid any penal provisions and in case there is failure to deduct
on your part, HPCL/Dealer (as the case may be) shall recover the tax as per the provisions of Section
206C(1H) along with applicable interest and penalty if any.
Customer with Supply Value less than Rs. 10 Cr.

In this case, HPCL/Dealer (as the case may be) has been collecting TCS as per section 206C (1H). Here
customer has to confirm HPCL/Dealer (as the case may be), his turnover during preceding financial year if
more than Rs 10 Cr.

Basis customer’s declaration (if turnover during Financial Year 2020-21 exceeded Rs 10 Crs.), HPCL/Dealer
will discontinue collecting TCS on invoices raised from 1st of July 2021. Customer shall deduct TDS u/s
194Q and provide HPCL/Dealer (as the case may be) the proof of deposit to the exchequer in order to
enable HPCL/Dealer (as the case may be) to take Credit, and also send the Form 16A at the appropriate
time.
