Applicability of provisions under section 194J of Income Tax Act' 61 in the case of transactions by the Third Party Administrators (TPAs) with hospitals etc.

CIRCULAR NO 8/2009, Dated: November 24, 2009

Sub: Applicability of provisions under Section 194J of Income Tax Act'61 in the case of transactions by the Third Party Administrators (TPAs) with Hospitals etc.

A number of representations have been received from various stakeholders regarding applicability of provisions under Section 194J of Income Tax Act'61 on payments made by Third Party Administrators (TPAs) to hospitals on behalf of insurance companies for settling medical/insurance claims etc with the hospitals.

2. The matter was examined by the Board. As per provisions of section 194J (1) ‘Any person, not being an individual or a Hindu undivided family, who is responsible for paying to a resident any sum by way of—

( a ) fees for professional services, or

( b ) fees for technical services, [or]

[( c ) royalty, or

( d ) any sum referred to in clause ( va ) of section 28 ,]

shall, at the time of credit of such sum to the account of the payee or at the time of payment thereof in cash or by issue of a cheque or draft or by any other mode, whichever is earlier, deduct an amount equal to ten per cent of such sum as income-tax on income comprised therein …”. Further as per Explanation (a) to 194J “professional services” means services rendered by a person in the course of carrying on legal, medical, engineering or architectural profession etc.. ' .

3. The services rendered by hospitals to various patients are primarily medical services and, therefore, provisions of 194J are applicable on payments made by TPAs to hospitals etc. Further for invoking provisions of 194J, there is no stipulation that the professional services have to be necessarily rendered to the person who makes payment to hospital. Therefore TPAs who are making payment on behalf of insurance companies to hospitals for settlement of medical/insurance claims etc under various schemes including Cashless schemes are liable to deduct tax at source under section 194J on all such payments to hospitals etc.

3.1. In view of above, all such past transactions between TPAs and hospitals fall within provisions of Section 194J and consequence of failure to deduct tax or after deducting tax failure to pay on all such transactions would make the deductor (TPAs) deemed to be an assessee in default in respect of such tax and also liable for charging of interest under Section 201 (1A) and penalty under Section 271C.

4. Considering the facts and circumstances of the class of cases of TPAs and insurance companies, the Board has decided that no proceedings u/s 201 may be initiated after the expiry of six years from the end of financial year in which such payment have been made without deducting tax at source etc by the TPAs. The Board is also of the view that tax demand arising out of Section 201 (1) in situations arising above, may not be enforced if the deductor(TPA) satisfies the officer in charge of TDS that the relevant taxes have been paid by the deductee assessee (hospitals etc.). A certificate from the auditor of the deductee assessee stating that the tax and interest due from deductee assessee has been paid for the assessment year concerned would be sufficient compliance for the above purpose. However, this will not alter the liability to charge interest under Section 201 (1A) of the Income Tax Act till payment of taxes by the deductee assessee or liability for penalty under Section 271C of the Income Tax Act as the case may be.

5. The contents of the circular may be brought to the notice of officers and officials working under you for strict compliance.

Hindi version will follow

F.No. 385/08/2009-IT(B)

CRITERIA FOR CLASSIFICATION OF ENTERPRISES

Accounting Standards

CRITERIA FOR CLASSIFICATION OF ENTERPRISES

1.     Criteria for classification of non-corporate entities as decided by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India

Level I Entities
Non-corporate entities which fall in any one or more of the following categories, at the end of the relevant accounting period, are classified as Level I entities:

        i.            Entities whose equity or debt securities are listed or are in the process of listing on any stock exchange, whether in India or outside India.

       ii.            Banks (including co-operative banks), financial institutions or entities carrying on insurance business.

     iii.            All commercial, industrial and business reporting entities, whose turnover (excluding other income) exceeds rupees fifty crore in the immediately preceding accounting year.

    iv.            All commercial, industrial and business reporting entities having borrowings (including public deposits) in excess of rupees ten crore at any time during the immediately preceding accounting year.

      v.            holding and subsidiary entities of any one of the above.

Level II Entities (SMEs)
Non-corporate entities which are not Level I entities but fall in any one or more of the following categories are classified as Level II entities:

        i.            All commercial, industrial and business reporting entities, whose turnover (excluding other income) exceeds rupees forty lakh but does not exceed rupees fifty crore in the immediately preceding accounting year.

       ii.            All commercial, industrial and business reporting entities having borrowings (including public deposits) in excess of rupees one crore but not in excess of rupees ten crore at any time during the immediately preceding accounting year.

     iii.            Holding and subsidiary entities of any one of the above.

Level III Entities (SMEs)
Non-corporate entities which are not covered under Level I and Level II are considered as Level III entities.

2.     Criteria for classification of companies under the Companies (Accounting Standards) Rules, 2006

Small and Medium-Sized Company (SMC) as defined in Clause 2(f) of the Companies (Accounting Standards) Rules, 2006:
(f) “Small and Medium Sized Company” (SMC) means, a company-

        i.            whose equity or debt securities are not listed or are not in the process of listing on any stock exchange, whether in India or outside India;

       ii.            which is not a bank, financial institution or an insurance company;

     iii.            whose turnover (excluding other income) does not exceed rupees fifty crore in the immediately preceding accounting year;

    iv.            which does not have borrowings (including public deposits) in excess of rupees ten crore at any time during the immediately preceding accounting year; and

      v.            which is not a holding or subsidiary company of a company which is not a small and medium-sized company.

Explanation: For the purposes of clause (f), a company shall qualify as a Small and Medium Sized Company, if the conditions mentioned therein are satisfied as at the end of the relevant accounting period.
Non-SMCs
Companies not falling within the definition of SMC are considered as Non-SMCs.
Harmonisation of differences between the Accounting Standards issued by the ICAI and those notified by the Central Government
The Central Government, on December 7, 2006, notified Accounting Standards in the Companies (Accounting Standards) Rules, 2006. These Accounting Standards were different in certain respects from the Accounting Standards issued by the council of ICAI. It has now been decided to harmonise these differences and clarify as to the applicability of both the sets of Accounting Standards to various entities.
Harmonisation of Differences caused by Accounting Standards Interpretations (ASIs)
The consensus portion of most of the ASIs has been included as ‘Explanation’ to the relevant paragraphs in the notified Accounting Standards. The Council has decided to follow the same. Accordingly, Standards issued by ICAI will also have these ASIs inbuilt in the standard itself. Thus, the Standards are being amended to incorporate the consensus portion of the ASIs as explanation to the relevant paragraphs.

Withdrawal of Accounting Standards Interpretations

ASI 2, Accounting for Machinery Spares (Re. AS 2 and AS 10) and ASI 11, Accounting for Taxes on Income in case of an Amalgamation (Re. As 22) have been withdrawn. These ASIs would not be included in the standards.

Issuance of Guidance Notes in lieu of ASIs

The council decided to withdraw the following ASIs and issue the same as Guidance Notes.
ASI 12 Applicability of AS 20 (Re. AS 20)
ASI 23 Remuneration paid to key management personnel — whether a related party transaction (Re. AS 18)
ASI 27 Applicability of AS 25 to Interim Financial Results (Re. AS 25)
ASI 29 Turnover in case of Contractors (Re. AS 7 (Revised 2002)

Harmonisation of Definition of Smaller Companies

The Council has retained three levels of entities, for Non- Corporate Enterprises. However, the ICAI has harmonized the definitions for smaller companies to fall in line with the Companies (Accounting Standards) Rules, 2006.
It must be noted here, that only corporate entities shall be governed by the Accounting Standard provisions contained in the notified Rules.
The applicability of Accounting Standards to various entities is summarized in the following tables.
Note:

·         The under mentioned Accounting Standards shall be applicable to all corporate entities for accounting periods commencing on or after December 7, 2006;

·         For Non-Corporate entities, it shall be applicable from 1st April 1, 2008 (with standards which are being amended to incorporate changed definitions of SMEs and the consensus portion of the ASIs)
