ROYALTY PAYMENT POLICY
PAYMENT CYCLE
– quarterly; that is four times in a financial year
APPLICABLE TAXES AND TDS
We are a registered company and we are liable to deduct TDS on the payment of royalty as per provisions of Income Tax Act. As per company’s policy Royalty amount is paid after deduction of the applicable rate of TDS without considering the threshold limit due to the following reasons:
-
At our end we make payment to a number of people/ entity and it is very difficult for us to check and confirm about the exceedance of threshold limit at every payment.
-
Amount of TDS deducted would be credited on your PAN, which you may very well claim at the time of filing of ITR.
-
If you are a GST regsitered company then applicable GST will be paid along with the royalty
