Where IGNOU engages an employee as a Consultant on part-time basis on
contract, remuneration paid to such Consultant is liable for TDS
i) U/s 194J
(Professional
Services)
Where Contract is FOR SERVICE:
Where the employer such as IGNOU engages
services of Professional on basis of Agreement
which gave them choice of time to come to IGNOU
for providing their professional services and they
were not on roll of IGNOU as its employees, there
was no Employer-Employee relationship and
payments to them is covered U/s 194J.
ii) U/s 192 (Salary) Where Contract is OF SERVICE:
Where the employer can demand services from
employee as part of employment service.

9. Features of Contract FOR SERVICE
• (Commissioner of Income Tax V. Coastal Power Co. [2007]
162 Taxman 120 )
1. A.K. Bhatnagar was an employee of Coastal Power Co.
2. He was drawing salary from Coastal Power Co.
3. in addition to that under a separate Agreement, he was given a Consultancy
Assignment which had the following covenants :
i) Consultancy was on temporary basis;
ii) Consultant was not entitled to participate in welfare plans – such as
Medical plans, Travel Accident Plan etc.
iii) Consultant would indemnify the employer against all liabilities
Delhi High Court held that in view of the above covenants, there is no Employer-
Employee relationship and payments are not covered U/s 192 as Salary but covered
U/s 194J as Professional Fees.

10. Features of Contract OF SERVICE
1. Where the employer can demand services from employee as part of
employment service.
2. To treat an amount as salary – Payment must not have been received by the
service provider in course of carrying on profession, because fees for technical
services includes any consideration received from rendering managerial,
technical or consultancy services but excludes any consideration which would
be income of the recipient chargeable under the head ‘SALARIES’.
(United Hotels Ltd. V. ITO [2005] 2 SOT 264) (Delhi-Trib.)
3. In one case, a hospital had, apart from regular employees, engaged consultant
doctors on contract basis, and paid them remuneration in the form of share in
the fees charged by it from the patients, subject to a specified minimum agreed
amount. They were treated as employees falling under the category of fixed
period/contract employees and / or part-time employees, thereby resulting in
the existence of employer-employee relationship.

11. Conclusion:
• Remuneration paid to part time teachers for assignments are covered as
salary U/s 192, and not as fee for Professional Services U/s 194J or
Contract U/s 194C.
This has been held by the Authority of Advance Ruling in Max Muller
Bhawan Case (2004) 268 ITR 31 (AAR).

12. Judicial decisions on TDS on Salary U/s 192
a) Section 192 requires that deduction from salary is to be made at the
time of payment and not at the time when salary become due.
[Citigroup Global Markets India (P) Ltd. V. DCIT (2009) 29 SOT 326 (Mum.) ].
b) If any tax has been deducted in excess in the earlier months, the
employer is authorized to adjust such excess in the subsequent
months. Visa-versa, if the employer has deducted less tax in the
earlier months, he will have to make higher deduction in the
subsequent months.
[Hero Honda Motors Ltd. V. ITO [2004] 112 Taxman 154 (Delhi) (Mag.)]
The above adjustment is permissible only in respect of same employee
and not for all employees.
Interest u/s 201(1A) is not leviable if the exact amount of TDS is not
deducted each month. [ITO V. Asia Hotels Ltd. (1991) 41 TTJ (Del) 28].

13. Judicial decisions on TDS on Salary
c) If after the year is over, there is a short deduction of tax due to honest
and bonafide belief by the employer and employee make good this
short fall in his Return of Income the employer is not to recover such
short fall and he cannot be penalized.
[Gwalior Rayon Silk Ltd. V. CIT (1983) 140 Income Tax Return 832
(MP)].
But at the same time employer cannot take TDS on salary casually and
resort to a lump-sum deduction at the end of Financial Year for making
good the deficiency. [Madhya Gujrat Vij Co. Ltd. V. ITO [2011] 14
taxmann.com 156 (Ahb.-Trib.)].
Controversy with the Department normally arises when such variation
is adjusted in last quarter or last month.
d) If employee incurring loss from house property furnishes verified
statement as per Rule 26B, benefit of the same can be given in TDS.

14. Judicial decisions on TDS on Salary
e) Deduction U/s 80G will generally not be allowed for purpose of TDS.
However, contribution made by employee through employer to Prime
Minister National Relief Fund, CM Relief Fund, LG Relief Fund will be
admissible on basis of certificate issued by DDO. [Circular No. 2/2005
dated 12.01.2005]
f) Salaried employees drawing house rent allowance upto Rs. 3,000 per
month will be exempted from production of rent receipt to the
employer.
g) Where the Head Office or the Branch Office is already filing the return
under Section 206, no other Assessing Officer shall require the
assessee to file such a return with him.
[Circular No. 719 dated 22.08.1995]

15. Judicial decisions on TDS on Salary
h) Although earlier the Supreme Court had held in . [CIT V. ITI Ltd. (2009)
183 Taxman 219 (Supreme Court) ] that there is No statutory
obligation of the employer to collect supporting evidence to the
declaration given to show that the employee has actually utilized
amount paid towards leave travel concession or conveyance
allowance for purpose of TDS U/s 192, but subsequently the CBDT has
issued Circular No. 8/2012 [F.No- 275/192/2012-IT(B)] dated
05.10.2012 as per which :
“the employer has to satisfy the obligation that leave travel (fare)
concession is not taxable in view of Section 10(5), the employer is not
only required to be satisfied about the ingredients of the said clause
but also to keep and preserve evidence in support thereof”.

16. Some More Points on TDS on Salary
1. Special Allowance exempt under Section 10(14):
Allowance, not in the nature of perquisite, granted to meet expenses
wholly, necessarily & exclusively incurred in the performance of duties to
the extent to which actually incurred & proof of expenditure furnished to
the employer.
2. Where IGNOU pays amount to another partner institute towards
reimbursement of salaries of certain personnel of that institute who are
deputed for rendering services to IGNOU, the amounts so reimbursed to
that institute will not be subject to TDS because there was no contract
between IGNOU & the deputed personnel by virtue of which IGNOU could
demand services from the deputed personnel and that personnel could
not claim fees directly from IGNOU since there was no specific contract
between IGNOU & the deputed personnel.
3. If those deputed personnel are not carrying on the specified profession,
they will not be covered for TDS U/s 194J.

17. Claim for credit of TDS in the year in which relative
income is offered for tax:
• Section 198 provides that TDS deducted is
deemed to be income received. Hence, even
when the relative income is received later, to
the extent of TDS, income is deemed to be
received in the year of deduction of TDS.

18. TDS on Contract Payment U/s 194C
a) In absence of a contract section 194C does not come into play.
b) TDS will be deducted on invoice value excluding the value of material purchased
from such customer if such value is mentioned separately in the invoice.
c) Where the contract of work is given on piece rate basis and the total payment
was not expected to exceed RRs. 75,000 but later on it is found that the payment
exceeds that amount, deduction should be made in respect of earlier payments
as well. [Circular No. 93, dated 26.09.1972]
d) There will be no requirement to deduct TDS of those authorities or bodies whose
income is unconditionally exempt U/s 10 of Income Tax Act, 1961 and who are
statutorily not required to file Return of Income U/s 139. [Circular No. 4/2002,
dated 10.07.2002]
e) In composite contracts if Invoice is raised, separately mentioning the value of
material supplied, no deduction is required to be made U/s 194C for the value of
material supplied, even if the said agreement is part of a composite transaction.

f) Where different contracts entered with sister concern are found to be in nature

g) In respect of outsourcing services received from placement agencies, even if
separate bills are raised, one for salaries of outsourced persons and second for
service charges of the placement agencies, TDS @ 2% U/s 194C will be applicable
on the entire payment made to the placement agency.

23. Application of Section 194J on Fees for Technical Services
Only when technology or technical knowledge of a person is made
available to others and not where by using technical system,
services are rendered to others.
e.g.: If charges are paid to Electricity Transmission Company for

4. Payment to Hotels:
Earlier, payments to hotels was notified by Circular No. 681,

However, following a writ in the case of East India Hotels Ltd.

Circular was held to be bad in law. As a result payment to
hotels is now not covered U/s 194C.
Further, as per Circular No. 715, dated 08/Aug/1995,
payments made to hotels for rooms hired on “Regular Basis”
would be in the nature of rent subject to TDS U/s 194I.

rooms are earmarked at specified rate. But
where it merely a rate contract and there is no
