Other Major amendments related to TDS in Budget 2023
1. Extending the scope for deduction of tax at source to lower or nil rate
Section 194 LBA of the Act provides that business trust shall deduct and deposit tax at the rate of 5% on interest income of on resident unit holders. It is proposed to amend 197(1) of the Act to provide that the sums on which tax is required to be deducted u/s 194LBA of the Act shall be eligible for certificate for deduction at lower rate with effect from 01.04.2023.
2. Tax treaty relief at the time of TDS u/s 196A of the Act
It is proposed to insert a proviso to Section 196A(1) of the Act to provide that the TDS would be at the rate which is lower of the rate of 20% and the rate provided in the agreement referred to in Section 90(1) or 90A(1) of the Act, in case of a payee to whom such agreement applies and such payee has furnished Tax Residency Certificate. This amendment will take effect from 01.04.2023.
3. TDS credit for income already disclosed in the return of the past years
These amendments will take effect from 1st October, 2023
Representations have been received that in many instances, tax is deducted by the deductor in the year in which the income is actually paid to the assessee. However, following accrual method, the assessee may have already disclosed this income in earlier years in their return of income. This result in TDS mismatch, since the corresponding income has already been offered to tax by the assessee in earlier years, however, TDS is only being deducted much later when actual payment is being made. The assessee cannot claim the credit of TDS in the year in which tax is deducted since income is not offered to tax in that year. It may also not be possible to revise the return of past year in which the corresponding income was included since time to revise the return of income for that year may have lapsed. This results in difficulty to the assessee in claiming credit of TDS.
In order to remove this difficulty, it is proposed to insert a new sub-section (20) in section 155 of the Act. This new sub-section applies where any income has been included in the return of income furnished by an assessee under section 139 of the Act for any assessment year (hereinafter referred to as the “relevant assessment year”) and tax has been deducted at source on such income and paid to the credit of the Central Government in accordance with the provisions of Chapter XVII-B in a subsequent financial year. In such a case the assessee can make application in the prescribed form to the Assessing Officer within two years from the end of the financial year in which such tax was deducted at source. Then Assessing Officer shall amend the order of assessment or any intimation allowing credit of such tax deducted at source in the relevant assessment year. It has been further provided that the provisions of section 154 of the Act shall, so far as may be, apply thereto, and the period of four years specified in sub-section (7) of that section shall be reckoned from the end of the financial year in which such tax has been deducted. Further, credit of such tax deducted at source shall not be allowed in any other assessment year.
Amendment has also been proposed in section 244A of the Act to provide that the interest on refund arising out of above rectification shall be for the period from the date of the application to the date on which the refund is granted.

Hello sir, I am Siri from Hyderabad, I am planning to pursue my masters in Germany, Recently I got admit from a good reputed university, for Germany we should show the blocked account amount of 11,208 euros almost 10 Lakhs in Indian currency for Visa, Is TDS is there on this amount also, if so how much will be the percentage.. Kindly revert me back, awaiting for your reply.. Thank you.
I’m not a tax expert, but I can provide you with some general information. It’s important to consult with a tax professional or do further research to get accurate and up-to-date information regarding the specific tax laws and regulations in your country.
Typically, when it comes to blocked account funds required for a student visa in Germany, such as the amount you mentioned, it is not subject to tax deduction at source (TDS) because it is a personal savings requirement for visa purposes. The funds in a blocked account serve as proof that you have sufficient financial resources to cover your living expenses while studying in Germany.
TDS is usually applied to income earned through various sources such as employment, interest, dividends, or rent. Since the blocked account funds are not considered as income, they may not be subject to TDS. However, it’s crucial to confirm this with a tax professional or consult the tax regulations in your country to be certain.
Additionally, keep in mind that tax regulations can vary between countries, and it’s essential to understand the specific tax laws in your home country and Germany, especially if you have any other income or financial transactions that may be subject to tax.
The question of TDS does not arise in respect of your funds deposited in Bank.
But the IT department has the power to question how you gathered the money to deposit into the Bank account.
If the money is taken from various relatives and friends who have agricultural back ground, no problem.
Better to consult CA before depositing such huge value of money in Bank accounts for any purpose including for VISA processing.
