It is a newly inserted section in Budget 2019 which is applicable from 1stSeptember, 2019. This section was introduced to cover some specified high value transactions of personal nature which were previously excluded from TDS provisions. The tax authorities observed that some individual and HUFs make very high payments to the professionals towards commission, contract fees or fees for rendering professional or technical services.
