Dear sir, It depends on the nature of the compensation. 1- Compensation for personal injury or death – Generally, such compensation is exempt from income tax under Section 10(10BC) of the Income Tax Act, so no TDS is deducted. 2- Compensation for business losses or professional damages – This may be taxable and subject to TDS depending on the nature of the payment. 3- Compensation under Land Acquisition Act – If the compensation is for compulsory acquisition of land used for agriculture, it is exempt. Otherwise, TDS may apply under Section 194LA. Best Regards Adv Adarsh Kumar
