09 July 2024 The amount of Tax Deducted at Source (TDS) on a joint venture payment of Rs. 50,00,000 would depend on the nature of the payment, the applicable section under the Income Tax Act, and whether the recipient has provided their Permanent Account Number (PAN).

Assuming the payment is subject to TDS under Section 194C (TDS on payments to contractors/sub-contractors), here are the key points:

1. **TDS Rate**:
- If the payment is made to an individual or a Hindu Undivided Family (HUF), and they have furnished their PAN, the TDS rate under Section 194C is 1%.
- If the payment is made to any other entity (like a company), the TDS rate is 2%.

2. **Calculation**:
- For a payment of Rs. 50,00,000:
- If paid to an individual/HUF with PAN: TDS = Rs. 50,00,000 * 1% = Rs. 50,000
- If paid to a company (assuming 2% rate): TDS = Rs. 50,00,000 * 2% = Rs. 1,00,000

3. **PAN Requirement**:
- It's crucial to ensure that the recipient of the payment provides their PAN. If PAN is not provided, TDS may be deducted at a higher rate as per Income Tax rules.

4. **Payment Details**:
- Ensure that the payment is correctly categorized under the applicable section of TDS (e.g., Section 194C for contractor payments).
- File TDS returns and issue TDS certificates to the deductee in compliance with TDS provisions.

Please note, if the nature of the payment or the status of the recipient differs (for example, if it falls under a different section such as 194J for professional or technical services), the TDS rate and provisions may vary. It's advisable to consult with a tax advisor or chartered accountant to ensure accurate compliance with TDS regulations based on the specific details of your payment scenario.
