Yes, TDS is applicable on interest payable to NBFC. As per Section 194A, the exemption from TDS is only in case of interest payable to banks.
But the problem faced by deducters is how to deduct TDS on interest payment to NBFC as interest is including in installments and there is no way that payment can be done after deducting as, in most of the cases, companies pay EMI through auto debit or standing instructions or even ECS and it would not be possible to deduct TDS on every month's interest portion of EMI.
I think, Solution is to gross up the interest amount and pay TDS. After that we can ask for refund from NBFC of TDS deposited.
File TDS return after submitting the TDS, issue TDS certificate and ask for refund from NBFC as it will reflect in their 26AS.
other solutions are welcome....
