26 September 2016

DEAR MEMBERS,

GUD MORNING EVERYONE,

PLEASE SOMEONE TELL ME, IF TDS IS REQUIRED TO BE DEDUCTED ON FORECLOSURE CHARGES AND LOAN PROCESSING CHARGES PAID TO NBFC U/S 194J OR ANY OTHER SECTION?

THANKS & REGARDS

First of all a very nice question is raised.
As defined u/s 2(28A)"interest" includes any service fee or other charges in respect of moneys borrowed or debt incurred or in respect of credit facility which has not been utilised;
as per above definition processing charges and foreclosure charges are part of interest hence TDS will be dedutible as per sec 194A.
In case payment is to a bank same is exempt as per sec 194A (3).
In case payment is to NBFC TDS is deductible u/s 194A

BUT DOES FORECLOSURE CHARGES COME UNDER DEFINATION OF INTEREST AS IT IS PAID TO REPAY LOAN EARLY INSTEAD OF RAISING A LOAN

The definition very well covers your doubt. Please go through it
