As prescribed under Income Tax Act 1961, it is mandatory on the part of the buyer to pay a predetermined value of TCS to the seller, while purchasing a particular commodity. TCS is generally set for business or trade in alcoholic liquor, forest produce, scarp, etc. Various lease, license and contracts related to areas like parking lot, mines and toll plaza also falls under the umbrella of TCS in India.
