How to Track Vendor Advance Payments & Deduct Section 194Q TDS in Tally Prime

July 24, 202611 Min ReadAkib Husain

Under Section 194Q of the Income Tax Act, buyers with turnover exceeding ₹10 Crore must deduct 0.1% TDS on purchase of goods from a resident seller exceeding ₹50 Lakh. Because TDS must be deducted at the time of credit or payment, whichever is earlier, paying an advance to a supplier triggers mandatory TDS deduction in Tally Prime.

Quick Answer: How to Pass Vendor Advance TDS 194Q Entry in Tally?

In Payment voucher (F5), select Bank ledger, select Vendor ledger, set Bill-wise Reference to 'Advance', and select the Section 194Q TDS Duty ledger. When the final purchase invoice is recorded later, select 'Agst Ref' to adjust the advance and balance TDS deduction.

  • TDS under 194Q must be deducted at payment or credit, whichever is earlier.
  • Use 'Advance' bill reference in F5 Payment voucher, then 'Agst Ref' in F9 Purchase voucher.
  • TrulyInvoice tracks cumulative vendor balances to automate 194Q TDS ledger mapping.
