3717443 - TDS Reclassification: Manpower Supply defined as ‘Work’ under Section 194C

Symptom

As per the Union Budget 2026 announcement, the "Supply of Manpower" is now classified as "Work" to avoid misclassification under professional services.

Environment

SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition

Resolution

In S/4HANA, this requires the following adjustments:

  • Definition Update: Manpower supply must now be processed under section 194C (Work Contracts) rather than section 194J. 
  • Rate Correction: Systems must be configured to prevent the higher 10% deduction, fixing the TDS rate at 1% (Individuals/HUF) or 2% (Others).
