11 February 2013 - As Reported by Financial Express 05-01-2013
The Central Board of Direct Taxes said in a notification that from January 1, payments received by banks for seven specified services are exempt from TDS obligation.
These include payment received as bank guarantee commission, cash management service charges, depository charges on maintenance of Demat accounts, charges for warehousing services for commodities, underwriting service charges, clearing charges (MICR charges) and credit card or debit card commission for transaction between the merchant establishment and acquirer bank.
Such payments can be made without TDS, the notification said.
