Direct Answers & Compliance Intelligence

Frequently Asked Regulatory & Compliance Questions

Authoritative insights structured for executive boards, corporate proprietors, and regulatory compliance

1

What is the new Section 194T TDS mandate on partner remuneration from April 2025?

Enacted via the Finance Act, Section 194T requires every partnership firm and LLP to deduct TDS @ 10% on payments or credits of salary, remuneration, commission, bonus, or interest to partners exceeding ₹20,000 in aggregate in a financial year. The firm must deposit this TDS via Challan 281 by the 7th of the subsequent month and report it in quarterly Form 26Q.
Key Takeaway: Failure to deduct Section 194T TDS attracts disallowance of 30% of partner remuneration under Section 40(a)(ia) plus 1.5% monthly penal interest.
2

Under what conditions is a corporate entity required to undergo a Section 44AB tax audit?

Under Section 44AB of the Income-tax Act, 2025 (Section 44AB of Income-tax Act, 1961), a business tax audit is mandatory if total turnover exceeds ₹1 Crore. However, this threshold is increased to ₹10 Crores provided cash receipts and cash payments do not exceed 5% of aggregate transactions (meaning 95%+ transactions are executed through banking/digital channels). Tax audit reports in Form 3CA/3CB and Form 3CD must be digitally certified by a practicing CA by September 30.
Key Takeaway: Operating with >95% digital transactions elevates the audit threshold tenfold to ₹10 Crores, saving compliance overhead.
3

How does Section 43B(h) impact MSME vendor payments for corporate taxpayers?

Section 43B(h) disallows deductions for any sum payable to a micro or small enterprise registered under the MSMED Act 2006 if not paid within the time specified in Section 15 of the MSMED Act (within 15 days, or up to 45 days if agreed in writing). Any outstanding payment at fiscal year-end beyond this window is added back to taxable income for that financial year.
Key Takeaway: Delayed MSME vendor payments are strictly taxable as profits in the current financial year and only deductible upon actual discharge.
4

How does Kinsmen manage faceless tax assessments under Section 144B?

Kinsmen Corporate Services formulates evidence-backed legal submissions for faceless assessment notices issued under Section 144B, reconciling books with AIS/TIS data, drafting point-by-point factual rebuttals with statutory case law precedents, and requesting video hearings where judicial interpretations are disputed.
Key Takeaway: Rigorous paper trails and statutory citations eliminate high-pitched arbitrary tax demands at the National Faceless Assessment Centre (NeAC).
