Payment in excess of 35000

you have two options in hand

1) obtain pan of every driver and book against each driver seperately , without taking union in picture

2) use the pan of union, but dont exceed limit of 35000 cash per day.

The problem is drivers will not give any bill. the no.of drivers are in thousands. it is not possible to maintain individual records. and it exceeds 35000 per day

sec 40A can not be avoided if payment is in exceeding 35000 per day in cash.

when the PAN is available TDS is not applicable, but limiting cash under 35000 is better option, or pay by banking channel only.

Hi Morning

As per Mr Satish , paymnet to single Driver does not exceed 15000, Sec 40A attract when payment of 35000 is done to single person.

Second thing , And per My knowledge - driver does not releate to TDS Deduction  so PAN of organisation should be considered. since bill is issued from organisation not by driver.

Mr. satish it is better to guide them to make payment to xyz instead of making to drivers as bill is received from xyz

moreover transport which provide pan need not deduct tds as per sec 194C

Hope ur clarified if any further revert to me back
