Mobile phone players seek extension of tax collection at source roll-out from April 1

Mobile phone and electronics manufacturers have requested the government to extend the date of implementation of tax collection at source by six months to April 1, 2021. Industry body India Cellular and Electronics Association (ICEA), whose members include Apple, Foxconn, Winstron, Lava etc, has written to the finance minister to defer the implementation of TCS from October 1 due to several reasons, including impact of novel coronavirus pandemic, lack of clarity in the rules, and clash with e-invoicing roll out from the same day.
