In other words, if you have made Sales of Goods to any person of Value of more than Rs. 50.00 lacs then you need to collect tax from buyer U/s  206C(1H) of The Income Tax Act, 1961.

2. This section will be applicable only when, if you had made sales of Goods in last year i.e F.Y. 2019-20 more than Rs. 10.00 Crores. If your sales has remained less then Rs. 10.00 crores then you need not to collect tax.
3. TCS to be collected if the Value/Aggregate Value received for Goods from a buyer is more than Rs. 50 Lakhs in a financial year.
4. TCS shall be applicable on receipts basis.

B. Rate of TCS:

30th September	15th October	30th Oct
31st December	15th January	30th Jan
31st March	15th May	30th May

 

D. Examples:

Suppose you have made Sales to a buyer as:

1.	Sales up to 30-09-2020	Rs. 35 Lacs
2.	Amount received up to 30-09-2020	Rs. 25 Lacs
3.	Invoices raised from 01-10-2020	Rs. 30 Lacs

 

So, you need not to collect tax on Receipts on Rs. 25 lacs because it is prior to 01-10-2020.

Now suppose you have received Amount of Rs. 30 lacs than you need to collect TCS as:

0.075% of Rs. 5 lacs (Rs. 25 lacs + Rs. 30 lacs – Rs. 50 lacs)
