• TDS under Section 194Q: Yes, the Rice Miller (C) is liable to deduct TDS under Section 194Q on payments made to the Commission Agent (B) if the aggregate payments in a financial year exceed Rs. 50 lakhs. • The Commission Agent (B) acts as an intermediary and receives commission for facilitating the sale, which falls under the ambit of Section 194Q for TDS deduction purposes.
