The 60-second version

Section 206CP requires pan masala seller to collect TCS on sale consideration — returning NRIs operating wholesale or retail pan masala distribution must file Form 27EQ quarterly.

Pan masala TCS is separate from GST — collect at sale, file 27EQ quarterly

Section 206CP applies when you sell pan masala for consideration — buyer PAN mandatory for TCS credit in buyer ITR.

Returning NRIs operating wholesale or retail pan masala distribution need TAN and Form 27EQ before first quarter ends.
