Facts, Provisions and law, Analysis, Conclusion.

  • Secondary sale: founder selling shares before company exit
    Facts
    A secondary sale is when a founder or early investor sells their shares to a new investor, not the company raising money (which is a primary transaction). The company receives no proceeds, the selling shareholder does.
    Provisions and law
    IT Act, Sec 45 | FEMA 1999 | Companies Act 2013, Sec 56
    Analysis
    ROFR: Most SHAs give other existing shareholders right of first refusal before you can sell to an outsider. Check your SHA, failure to offer ROFR can invalidate the transfer. Tax: Same as acquisition exit above, LTCG at 12.5% if held 24+ months, slab rate if STCG. FEMA: If buyer is a non-resident, pricing must comply with FEMA pricing guidelines (Rule 11UA floor).

  • Holding company: the investment vehicle for family wealth
    Facts
    A family holding company owns investments, listed stocks, unlisted equity, REITs, AIF units, real estate. All investment activity happens at the company level.
    Provisions and law
    Companies Act 2013 | IT Act, Sec 200 (old 115BAA) | Dividend, Sec 2(22)
    Analysis
    Tax advantages: Inter-company dividends between group companies: exempt under Sec 10(34A) (dividend from domestic company). Capital gains at corporate rate: 22% (much lower than individual surcharge at ₹5Cr+ income). Business expenses deductible against income. The dividend trap: Money stuck in the holding company, distributing to family members as dividend is taxed at slab rate in their hands. Planning: use salary, director fees, loan repayments (for original capital), and strategic timing of dividends to manage outflow tax.

  • TDS on Professional Fees: Section 393 (old 194J)
    Facts
    If you pay fees to a doctor, lawyer, CA, consultant, IT developer, or any professional above ₹30,000 in a year, you must deduct 10% TDS before paying them. Most small businesses and startups pay freelancers without TDS. The professional loses nothing (gets TDS credit). But the payer becomes an assessee in default with interest and penalty equal to TDS.
    Provisions and law
    Sec 393 (old 194J(1)); Professional services defined; Threshold; Exemptions; Sec 398 (old 201)
    Analysis
    Sec 393, Income-tax Act 2025 (old Sec 194J) rate clarification, 2% vs 10%: From April 1, 2020: professional services (doctor, lawyer, CA, architect, technical consultant) = 10%. Technical services (IT maintenance, call centre, software support, data analytics) = 2%. This split matters: a company paying an IT developer for software maintenance (technical services) deducts 2%, not 10%. But same company paying IT consultant for strategic advice (professional services) = 10%. The distinction is blurred in practice, when in doubt, use 10%. When Sec 393 (old Sec 194J) applies to startups and small companies: A Pvt Ltd company (even with ₹50L revenue) must deduct TDS under Sec 393 (old Sec 194J) if they pay professional fees. The audit threshold exemption is for individuals/HUF only. Any company = must deduct Sec 393 (old Sec 194J). Many startups miss this, they pay CA, lawyers, freelance developers and don't deduct TDS. Common audit exposure.
    Conclusion
    • Identify: does your entity (company/audit-applicable proprietor) pay any professional fees?
    • Check if cumulative professional fees to any one person cross ₹30,000 in the year
    • Determine rate: 10% (professional services, lawyer, doctor, CA, architect) or 2% (technical services, IT maintenance, call centre)
    • Collect recipient's PAN before payment, without PAN: deduct at 20%
