What does this section cover?

TDS by buyer on purchase of goods above ₹50 lakh in a FY from a resident seller — counterpart to 206C(1H) TCS.

Why this section: Large buyers (turnover > ₹10cr) must deduct 0.1% on the amount above ₹50L paid to any single resident seller in a FY.

Note: If 194Q applies, seller's 206C(1H) TCS is waived. Computed only on the amount EXCEEDING ₹50L (not total). Excludes goods on which other TDS applies.
