Partnership firms must deduct TDS at 10% on payments to partners (salary, commission, bonus, remuneration, interest on capital). Threshold: ₹20,000 per partner per year. Under IT Act 2025, this is Code 1036 within §393, effective 1 April 2026. This is a significant compliance change for all partnership firms — including CA firms.
