Hi Parth Amin,
As per Sec. 194H, if you are an individual/HUF and you are not liable to get your books audited u/s 44AB (i.e., not liable to Tax Audit), then you are not required to deduct TDS. Otherwise, you have to deduct TDS @ 5% if the brokerage payment exceeds Rs. 15,000 in a FY.
Since the brokerage amount is Rs. 1,50,000 (i.e., more than Rs. 15,000), you have to deduct TDS @ 5% = Rs. 7500.
Tax is to be deducted at the time of credit or at the time of payment, whichever is earlier. TDS for the month of March is to be paid on or before 30th April.
For example: If you credit the broker in your books on 31st March 2019, then TDS is deductible on 31st March 2019. And that TDS amount has to be deposited to the government on or before 30th April 2019.
Entry to be made in your books:
[Debit] Brokerage A/c - Rs. 1,50,000
[Credit] TDS on brokerage A/c - Rs. 7,500
[Credit] Broker A/c - Rs. 1,42,500
