However, it's important to note that: -
The payment should be for genuine business purposes. -
The payment should not be disguised as a way to avoid tax. -
The recipient should not be a non-resident (as TDS may apply in that case).

Hello,
For the Food Corporation of India (FCI) purchasing non-taxable goods or services from a registered taxpayer, GST TDS (Tax Deducted at Source) is not applicable. Here’s why:
GST TDS Applicability: Under Section 51 of the CGST Act, TDS is applicable only on payments made for taxable goods or services, where GST is chargeable on the transaction.
Non-Taxable Goods/Services: Since the goods or services in this case are non-taxable (exempt or zero-rated), GST is not levied on the transaction. Therefore, GST TDS does not apply, as TDS can only be deducted on transactions that attract GST.
Nature of Supply: TDS under GST is applicable when a registered person (like FCI, being a government entity) procures taxable goods or services above the threshold limit from a registered supplier. For non-taxable supplies, there is no GST involved, so TDS does not apply.
