(185 Taxmann 313)(Karnataka HC) - HC held that obligation to deduct tax arises the moment there is remittance to the NR abroad. Until certificate obtained u/s 195(2), he cannot interpret that income is not taxable in India. 41
42 AN OVERVIEW OF TDS U/S. 195 GE India Technology Centre (P) Ltd (234 CTR 153) (SC) SC held that sec 195(2) is based on Principle of Proportionality & gets attracted where the payment is composite payment. The moment there is a remittance out of India, it does not trigger Sec 195. The payer is bound to deduct tax only if the sum is chargeable to tax (i.e. there is an element of income) in India read with sec 4, 5 and 9. Sec 195 not only covers amounts which represents pure income payments but also covers composite payments which has an element of income embedded in them However, obligation to deduct TDS on such composite payments would be limited to the appropriate proportion of income forming part of the gross sum. SC- Karnataka HC losen its sight on plain language of sec 195(1) 42
43 AN OVERVIEW OF TDS U/S. 195 Based on GE India Ruling: CBDT issued Instruction no. 2/2014 (F.No. 500/33/2013-FTD-I) dated 26 th February 2014, instructing AO that if no application made u/s 195(2) & assessee failed to deduct TDS u/s 195 of the act, default amount u/s 201 is on sum chargeable to tax & not on the whole amount. 43
