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).
