A 2 per cent TDS on cash withdrawals beyond Rs 1 crore may hit the farm trade hard.

One of the 2019-20 Union Budget’s less-discussed proposals, having significant implications for agricultural trade, is the levy of a 2% TDS (tax deducted at source) on cash withdrawals exceeding Rs 1 crore in a year from any bank account.

The levy — aimed at promoting “digital payments” and a “less cash economy”, to quote Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman — comes on top of two earlier measures in the 2017-18 budget.

The first one, via an amendment to section 40A (3) of the Income Tax Act, discouraged cash payment above Rs 10,000 to any person in a single day, by not allowing it as deduction in the computation of income from profits and gains of business. However, this provision was explicitly stated as not applicable to payments made to producers for purchase of farm, horticulture, livestock, fish and forest produce.

The second was the introduction of a new section 269ST, prohibiting any person from receiving Rs 2 lakh or more in cash in a single day. This section, read with the previously noted amendment, made it clear that nothing stopped farmers from being paid in cash for sale of produce valued at below Rs 2 lakh. Moreover, nor would the trader be disallowed any expenditure under section 40A (3) in respect of cash payment above Rs 10,000 made to farmers for purchase of their crop.
