What is tax deducted at source?

For quick and efficient collection of taxes, the Income-tax Law has incorporated a system of deduction of tax at the point of generation of income. This system is called as “Tax Deducted at Source”, commonly known as TDS. Under this system tax is deducted at the origin of the income. Tax is deducted by the payer and is remitted to the Government by the payer on behalf of the payee.

The provisions of deduction of tax at source are applicable to several payments such as salary, interest, commission, brokerage, professional fees, royalty, contract payments, etc. In respect of payments to which the TDS provisions apply, the payer has to deduct tax at source on the payments made by him and he has to deposit the tax deducted by him to the credit of the Government. The following illustration will explain the TDS mechanism.

Is TDS relevant for me as a businessman?

Yes. Payments may be made to you after TDS. You can adjust this against your final tax liability. You are also required to effect TDS while making business payments. Failure to do so will result in the entire of expenditure being disallowed as your business expenditure and taxed as income.

I have made some deposits with a bank on which annual interest is around 15000. My income is below taxable limit. The banker wants to deduct tax. What do I do?

You can file a self-declaration to the banker in Form 15H stating that your income is below taxable limit. The form is available with your banker, the local Income Tax office and can be downloaded from the website www.incometaxindia.gov.in This form should be filed before the interest begins to accrue in the fixed deposit account, since the declaration has no retrospective effect.

Illustration

Mr. Raja has made a fixed deposit with XYZ Bank. Annual interest on the deposit is Rs. 8,40,000. Will the bank be liable to deduct any tax from the interest paid to Mr. Raja?

Interest on fixed deposit is covered under the TDS mechanism and, hence, the bank has to deduct tax from interest and has to pay the net interest to Mr. Raja.

The rate of TDS on interest is 10% and, hence, the bank will deduct tax of Rs. 84,000 from the interest and will pay the net interest of Rs. 7,56,000 (i.e., Rs. 8,40,000 – Rs. 84,000) to Mr. Raja.

The TDS of Rs. 84,000 will be paid by the bank to the Government and Rs. 84,000 will be treated as prepaid tax of Mr. Raja and he can claim tax credit of Rs. 84,000 just like advance tax at the time of filing his return of income.

The above mechanism of deducting the tax at the point of generation of income is called TDS mechanism.

What are the payments covered under the TDS mechanism and the rates for deduction of tax at source?

Can the payee request the payer not to deduct tax at source and to pay the amount without deduction of tax at source?

A payee can approach to the payer for non-deduction of tax at source but for that they have to furnish a declaration in Form No. 15G/15H, as the case may be, to the payer to the effect that the tax on his estimated total income of the previous year after including the income on which tax is to be deducted will be nil.

Form No. 15G is for the individual or a person (other than company or firm) and Form No. 15H is for the senior citizens.

The following assessee who is in receipt of the specific incomes can approach to the payee for non-deduction of tax at source:-

a) A resident individual who is in receipt of income as referred to in 192A, 194 or 194EE if the amount of such income does not exceed the maximum amount which is not chargeable to income-tax.

b) Any person (other than a company or a firm) who is in receipt of income as referred to in section 193, 194A, 194DA or 194-I if the amount of such income does not exceed the maximum amount which is not chargeable to income-tax.

c) A resident senior citizen ( i.e., an individual resident in India who is of the age of sixty years or more at any time during the previous year) who is in receipt of income as referred to in section 192A, 193, 194, 194A, 194EE, or 194-I or 194DA

Alternatively, a payee who is in receipt of income referred to in section 192, 193, 194, 194A, 194C, 194D, 194G, 194H, 194-I, 194J, 194LA, 194LBB, 194LBC, or 195 can apply in Form No. 13 to the assessing officer to get a certificate authorizing the payer to deduct tax at lower rate or deduct no tax as may be appropriate.

On receiving such an application, the AO may issue appropriate certificate in this regard if he is satisfied that the total income of the payee justifies the deduction of income-tax at any lower rate or nil deduction of income tax.

As per Income-tax (Ninth Amendment) Rules, 2014, Certificate for non-deduction of income-tax shall be issued directly to the person responsible for deducting the tax under an advice to the payee (i.e. who made an application for issue of such certificate).Whereas, certificate of lower deduction of income-tax shall be issued to payee itself.

If AO has issued certificate for no deduction of tax or lower deduction of tax, as the case may be, then payer should deduct tax accordingly.

What are the consequences a deductor would face if he fails to deduct TDS or after deducting the same fails to deposit it to the Government’s account?

A deductor would face the following consequences if he fails to deduct TDS or after deducting the same fails to deposit it to the credit of Central Government’s account:-

a) Disallowance of expenditure

As per section 40(a)(i) of the Income-tax Act, any sum (other than salary) payable outside India or to a non-resident, which is chargeable to tax in India in the hands of the recipient, shall not be allowed to be deducted if it is paid without deduction of tax at source or if tax is deducted but is not deposited with the Central Government till the due date of filing of return.

However, if tax is deducted or deposited in subsequent year, as the case may be, the expenditure shall be allowed as deduction in that year.

Similarly, as per section 40(a)(ia), any sum payable to a resident, which is subject to deduction of tax at source, would attract 30% disallowance if it is paid without deduction of tax at source or if tax is deducted but is not deposited with the Central Government till the due date of filing of return.

However, where in respect of any such sum, tax is deducted or deposited in subsequent year, as the case may be, the expenditure so disallowed shall be allowed as deduction in that year.

b) Levy of interest

As per section 201 of the Income-tax Act, if a deductor fails to deduct tax at source or after the deducting the same fails to deposit it to the Government’s account then he shall be deemed to be an assessee-in-default and liable to pay simple interest as follows:-

(i) at one per cent for every month or part of a month on the amount of such tax from the date on which such tax was deductible to the date on which such tax is deducted; and

(ii) at one and one-half per cent for every month or part of a month on the amount of such tax from the date on which such tax was deducted to the date on which such tax is actually paid.

c) Levy of Penalty

Penalty of an amount equal to tax not deducted or paid could be imposed under section 271C.

Under what circumstances a deductor would not be deemed as an assessee-in-default even after he fails to deduct TDS or after deducting the same fails to deposit it to the Government’s account?

A deductor who fails to deduct the whole or any part of the tax on the sum paid to a resident or on the sum credited to the account of a resident shall not be deemed to be an assessee-in-default in respect of such tax if such resident—

(i) has furnished his return of income under section 139;

(ii) has taken into account such sum for computing income in such return of income; and

(iii) has paid the tax due on the income declared by him in such return of income,

and the deductor furnishes a certificate to this effect in Form No.26A from a chartered accountant.

What to do if tax is deducted but the ultimate tax liability of the payee is nil or lower than the amount of TDS?

In such a case, the payee can claim the refund of entire/excess amount of TDS (as the case may be) by filing the return of income.

If the payer does not deduct tax at source, will the payee face any adverse consequences by means of action taken by the Income-tax Department?

It is the duty and responsibility of the payer to deduct tax at source. If the payer fails to deduct tax at source, then the payee will not have to face any adverse consequences. However, in such a case, the payee will have to discharge his tax liability. Thus, failure of the payer to deduct tax at source will not relieve the payee from payment of tax on his income.

What are the duties of the person deducting tax at source?

Following are the basic duties of the person who is liable to deduct tax at source.

He shall obtain Tax Deduction Account Number and quote the same in all the documents pertaining to TDS.
He shall deduct the tax at source at the applicable rate.
He shall pay the tax deducted by him at source to the credit of the Government (by the due date specified in this regard*).
He shall file the periodic TDS statements, i.e., TDS return (by the due date specified in this regard*).
He shall issue the TDS certificate to the payee in respect of tax deducted by him (by the due date specified in this regard*).

*Refer tax calendar for the due dates.

How can I know the quantum of tax deducted from my income by the payer?

To know the quantum of the tax deducted by the payer, you can ask the payer to furnish you a TDS certificate in respect of tax deducted by him. You can also check Form 26AS from your e-filing account at https://incometaxindiaefiling.gov.in

You can also use the “View Your Tax Credit” facility available at www.incometaxindia.gov.in

What to do if the TDS credit is not reflected in Form 26AS?

Non-reflection of TDS credit in Form 26AS can be due to several reasons like non-filing of TDS statement by the payer, quoting incorrect PAN of the deductee in the TDS statement filed by the payer. Thus, in case of non-reflection of TDS credit in Form 26AS, the payee has to contact the payer for ascertaining the correct reasons for non-reflection of the TDS credit in Form 26AS.

At what rate the payer will deduct tax if I do not furnish my Permanent Account Number to him?

As per section 206AA , if you do not furnish your Permanent Account Number to the payer (i.e., deductor), then the deductor shall deduct tax at the higher of the following rates :

At the rate specified in the relevant provision of the Act.
At the rate or rates in force, i.e., the rate prescribed in the Finance Act.
At the rate of 20%.

However, the provisions of section 206AA shall not apply to a non-resident, not being a company, or to a foreign company, in respect of—

i) payment of interest on long-term bonds as referred to in section 194LC; and

ii) any other payment subject to such conditions as may be prescribed.

I do not have PAN. Can I furnish Form 15G/15H for non-deduction of TDS from interest?

As per section 206AA , a declaration in Form No. 15G or Form No. 15H is not a valid declaration, if it does not contain PAN of the person making the declaration. If the declaration is without the PAN, then tax is to be deducted at higher of following rates :

At the rate specified in the relevant provision of the Act.
At the rate or rates in force, i.e., the rate prescribed in the Finance Act.
At the rate of 20%.
Would I face any adverse consequences if instead of depositing TDS in the government’s account I use it for my personal needs?

Yes, failure to remit tax deducted by me in the government’s account within stipulated time-limit would attract interest, penalty and rigorous imprisonment of upto seven years.

I have not received TDS certificate from the deductor. Can I claim TDS in my return of income?

Yes, the tax credit in your case will be reflected in your Form 26AS and, hence, you can check Form 26AS and claim the credit of the tax accordingly. However, the claim of TDS to be made in your return of income should be strictly as per the TDS credit being reflected in Form 26AS. If there is any discrepancy in the tax actually deducted and the tax credit being reflected in Form 26AS then you should intimate the same to the deductor and should reconcile the difference. The credit granted by the Income-tax Department will be as per Form 26AS.

If I buy any land/building then is there any requirement to deduct tax from the sale proceeds to be paid by me to the seller?

Yes, Finance Act, 2013 has introduced section 194-IA which provides for deduction of tax at source in case of payment of sale consideration of immovable property (other than rural agricultural land) to a resident. Section 194-IA is not applicable if the seller is a non-resident. Tax is to be deducted @ 1%. No tax is to be deducted if the consideration is below Rs. 50,00,000. If the sale consideration exceeds Rs. 50,00,000, then tax is to be deducted on the entire amount and not only on the amount exceeding Rs. 50,00,000.

If the seller is a non-resident then tax is be deducted under section 195 and not under section 194-IA. Thus, in case of purchase of property from non-resident TDS provisions of section 195 will apply and not of section 194-IA

What is the difference between PAN and TAN?

PAN stands for Permanent Account Number and TAN stands for Tax Deduction Account Number. TAN is to be obtained by the person responsible to deduct tax, i.e., the deductor. In all the documents relating to TDS and all the correspondence with the Income-tax Department relating to TDS one has to quote his TAN.

PAN cannot be used for TAN, hence, the deductor has to obtain TAN, even if he holds PAN.

However, in case of TDS on purchase of land and building (as per section 194-IA) as discussed in previous FAQ, the deductor is not required to obtain TAN and can use PAN for remitting the TDS.

Clarifications to issues some of the issues relating to TDS:

Whether capitalization of interest payable attracts TDS U/S 194A?

A) Yes, Capitalization of interest payable attracts the provisions of TDS.

TDS is to be made on interest payment regardless of the fact whether borrower uses funds for acquiring fixed assets, capital assets or stock-in-trade or for making payments of trading debts.

How TDS U/S 194B is deducted in case where gift (prize by way of winnings from lottery) is given in kind?

A) Generally we come across two types of situations in case gift is given in kind-

(i) If prize is given partly in cash and partly in kind- Tax will be deducted from cash prize with reference to the aggregate amount of the cash prize and the value of price in kind. And where in the part of cash is not sufficient to meet the liability for tax deduction in respect of whole of the winnings then payer has to collect the balance from the payee.

(ii) Where the prize is wholly in kind- The payer has to collect the liability for tax deduction from payee.

Example – Mr.” X “wins a Maruthi-Zen value of Rs.3,70,000/- on August 20, 2014, in a draw of lot organized by Maruthi Udyog. Tax liability on prize in kind comes to Rs.1,14,330/- (i.e., 30.9% of Rs.3,70,000/-) which may be recovered by the Maruthi Udyog from Mr. “X” and the same can be deposited with the government on account of tax deduction.

Whether payment made to Disk jokey (DJ) is covered under 194C or 194J, explain briefly?

A) Artistic performances and services provided by persons are covered U/S 194J. Even though a contract is entered with him, he is rendering professional services only and hence it is subjected to TDS u/s 194J.

Whether definition of profession U/S 194J is inclusive or exclusive?

Exclusive, almost all the definitions in the act which are favorable to the revenue is not inclusive in nature.

Whether TDS U/S 194J is to be made inclusive of reimbursement of expenditure or exclusive?

TDS on reimbursement is not required to be made if separate bills are raised one is for professional fee and the other is for reimbursement of expenditure.

If a single bill is raised for the professional fee inclusive of reimbursement of expenditure, in such a case TDS is to be made on gross amount.

The above view is supported by a case law ITO v. Dr. Willmar Schwabe (2005) 3 SOT 71 (ITAT).

Where as per CBDT circular No. 715 dated 8-8-1995, TDS should be on total payment including reimbursement of expenses. But ITAT in the above decision it was held that reimbursement of expenses for which bill is separately raised did not attract the provisions of section 194J, the above circular attracts only in case bill is raised inclusive of reimbursement of expenditure.

Whether contract U/S 194C must be in writing?

A contract may be written or oral. Even implied contracts are also attract provisions of section 194C. Circular: No. 433 [F.No. 275/30/82-IT(B)], dated 25-9-1985.

Whether order of visiting cards, scribbling pads, letter heads in the name of company attracts TDS provisions?

section 194C will not apply in respect of supply of printed material as per prescribed specifications.

DCIT Vs.Shalimar Chemical Works Ltd.(ITAT Kolkata) , I.T.A No. 892/Kol/2011A.Y. 2008-2009 , Date of decision –28-09-2015

Whether TDS U/S 194I to be made on rent is inclusive of maintenance or exclusive?

TDS U/S 194I on maintenance charges is not required to be made if separate bills are raised one is for rent and the other is for maintenance charges .

How ever payments made towards maintenance charges attracts sec 194C.

What are the due dates for filing quarterly TDS Returns?

In view of above circulars, it may kindly be noted that the TDS Certificates downloaded only from TRACES Portal will be valid.

Difference between TDS and TCS?

TDS is Tax deducted at source and TCS is tax collected at source. The meaning can be understood from its definition itself. TDS is for expense and where as TCS is for revenue (Ex- scrap sale).

Difference between Form-15G and Form-15H?

Form-15G: It is declaration given by an individual or other person (not being a company or firm) to the person responsible for deducting tax at source not to deduct tax, since the total income including the current receipts will not exceed the maximum amount which is not chargeable to income tax.

Form-15H: It is declaration given by an individual who is the age of 60 years or more to the person responsible for deducting tax at source not to deduct tax, since the total income including the current receipts will not exceed the maximum amount which is not chargeable to income tax.

Whether conversion of out standing interest on loan into loan attracts TDS?

There are two situations generally we come across while dealing the above case-

(i) Interest payment to banks/financial institutions- Any interest paid or credited to the banks/financial institutions is not subject to tax deduction U/S 194(3)(iii), hence TDS is not required to be made on interest payments.

Even the interest payments does not attract TDS provisions, hence there is no question of TDS in case of capitalization of interest on loan as loan.

(ii) Interest payments to others (other than persons those who are covered under 194(3)(iii))- According to sec-194A, TDS is to be made at the time of credit or payment which ever earlier.

So the liability to deduct TDS arises at the time of credit or payment, where as the conversion of interest out standing into loan arises after a long period from the time interest liability becomes due for payment. This is due to inability of the borrower in making the interest payments.

There is a point of timing difference between the interest due and conversion of interest into loan.

Hence the liability to deduct TDS arises only at the time the interest becomes due but not at the time of conversion of interest outstanding into loan.

I have deducted tax from payments disbursed but used the same for some urgent financial needs. What are the consequences?

It is an offence to misuse Tax Deducted at Source (TDS). It should have been remitted to government account within the specified time limit. Failure to deposit TDS attracts levy, interest, penalty and also rigorous imprisonment up to seven years.

If the employer does not deduct tax and employee also does not pay his due tax, who will be held responsible for tax payment?

The ultimate responsibility to pay tax rests on the person who has earned income. If the employee deposits such tax then the employer will be liable for interest and penalty for failure to deduct tax.

I am buying a property from a person residing in USA. Should I deduct tax while making payment?

Yes, u/s 195. In case you have any doubt regarding the amount on which TDS is to be made, you may file an application with the officer handling non-resident taxation who will pass an order determining the TDS to be made. Alternatively, if the recipient feels that the TDS is more he may file an application with his Assessing Officer for non-deduction.

Can I use PAN to pay the TDS deducted into government account?

No. You are required to have a separate Tax Deduction Account Number (TAN) by making an application in Form 49B with the TIN facilitation center of NSDL.

Is Income Tax Act applicable only to residents?

No, Income Tax Act applies to all persons who earn income in India, whether they are resident or non-resident.

Who is a resident?

TDS by Banks and reconciling the same with Form26AS has become a pain in the neck. Due to carelessness of the Deductorsa the the Assessee has to suffer. As per the present position of the Income Tax Act it is the Assessee who is to to run behind the deductor.
Look at what Vijay Mallaya did.
Why does not the Income Tax department introduce a Form like 15G or 15H wherein the Assessee himself undertakes to deduct TDS and pay as Advance Tax and give it to the Deductor. ( say call it Form 15J). Default by assessee may attract the same penalties as to the oriinal Deductor.
The responsibility in any case is on the Assessee; whether Deductor collects, fails to pay to Government, makes mistakes in PAN or does not file the TDS Return or makes mistakes in the amount of TDS.
It has been my frustration and exasperation with the Banks every Quarter for the past decade.
Will the Department consider this or be happy with people like Vijay Mallaya who collected and not remitted and harassing the employees to pay again and honest poor citizens at the mercy of careless Bank emloyees whose mistakes lead to all the problems of assessees and thereby Government gets extra revenue.

Hi,
I have withdrawn EPF from last employer. Amount is credited after deduction of TDS. I have received Form 16A for the same and it is reflected in Form 26AS. Now, my query is :
-While filing income tax return for the FY 2015-16 should I mention PF amount in my taxable income (if yes; where)?
-Because of this my slab rate has been changed and there is outstanding tax payable.
-Both last and current employer has already been deducted TDS.

Please guide!

Last financial year I checked that none of my payslips have the income tax deduction mentioned in it. I noticed this when I saw my Form 16s [I changed my company last October, hence have two Form 16s]. Even the payslips from my current company did not have the income tax deduction for the months left in the previous financial year. The deduction started from April, 2016, i.e. the starting for the current finacial year. Because of this I have to pay the entire tax now when I am filing my return.
My question is why did this happen that both the companies did not deduct the monthly income tax from my salary? Did I miss anything on my part?
I have completed the e-filing on the Income Tax website but have not verified it. Do I have to pay the pending tax and then do the e-filing again and then submit the return?
Or should I pay the tax and then verify the return, keeping the e-filing same?

Though My bank ( SBH) used to deduct TDS on interest generated on 1000 days FD’s of mine ( a Senior citizen)for 2 years , and I used to show the same in my ITR ,as per 26 AS ,everything was running smooth,then ,in the third year , in the month of July , as TDS was neither deducted by SBH -nor shown in 26 AS , hence after inquiry, SBH asked me to PAY amount equivalent to TDS to them , and then SBH PAID to IT authorities as TDS on interest, on my behalf .

after maturity of those FD’s,it was seen that , i received CONTRACTUAL MATURITY AMOUNT (after deducting TDS), but i was not reimbursed-refunded-credited with amount equivalent to TDS (of the third year)that was CREDITED by me to SBH and then that bank has CREDITED TO IT authorities.
when it was brought to SBH , they agreed to reimburse-refund that amount with 18% comp.interest

Now bank is neither refunding that amount …what to Do…..

Group had undertaken supply of foodgrains and other items to Government Department through a nominated Govt. agency during the A.Y. 2009-10; 2010-11 and 2011-12 under tie-up arrangement on back to back basis. The Department treated Govt Agency as Contractor (though not supposed to be) and deducted TDS under 194-C and issued Form 16-A in lieu of that. The TDS amount, so deducted , was subtracted from our payments by the Agency. But the Govt Agency is not releasing the TDS amount even after 3 years, saying that its Income Assessment has not been completed and also few entries (less than Rs .10 lakhs) are to be converted from “P” to “F” in 26AS. Our plea to release the amount through various correspondences have gone to the deaf years of the Agency. The claim amount runs in few crores of rupees.
My question is as to the reasons given by the Agency is justified ? How long the Agency can dilly-dally the matter and the limitations? Whether Our group is entitled to get the refund with interest? Please clarify.

Sir,

I was working with firm in year 2010-2012 and in FY 2010-2011 Employer deducted TDS of Rs. 2.47 L and never deposited to IT department. At the year end, Employer provided Form 16 in which it is stated that “Employer has deducted TDS but yet not deposited the same and Employer will deposit the same at earliest.” I have filed ITR with same understanding attaching that Form 16. Then after in 2012-13 I got notice from IT department of outstanding of Sum of Rs. 2.47 L. I replied to this note is very polite and positive manner confirming all possible details and also providing some reference court cases confirming that it is Employer’s responsibility to deposit TDS deducted. But IT department is possibly not accepting my humble request and they have sent me another notice asking for interest component as well. To which I have replied in formal commercial language with help of my C.A. and awaiting revert from IT Department. Now I request you to guide how to proceed with this case as explained above as IT department has started deducting /not paying my refund and adjusting the same against so claimed outstanding…..Your valuable inputs will be appreciated. Please let me understanding in case any additional details are sought from my end to facilitate your quick and valuable response.

Sri Joginder Sud,

Sir,

For your information: the deductors are made liable for this. Once you file your ITR and if there is mismatch between the TDS claimed and TDS credit in your TRACES account, then the Assessing Officer (A.O.) will first issue a demand notice of the differential amount of TDS and interest. Then, you are supposed to present the TDS certificate to the AO clearing your position of TDS mismatch. The AO will then issue notice to the deductor (via respective TDS jurisdictional officer)for difference in the TDS certificate provided to you and TDS statement filed by them. The deductor will either explain the reasons or will file a correction statement. This solves the problem.

I want clarification regarding TDS on interest income. Interest income upto 10000 is exempt from tax, but if interest income is (say) 11000 then 10% TDS will be deducted from (11000-10000=1000) or from entire 11000?

TDS on the amount you are paying; say the amount you have to pay by cheque but subject to deduction of TDS, so you are duducting the TDS and paying the net amount/balance amount. For the TDS deducted you are the Treasurer and bound to remit the amount to the I.Tax Authorities and issue the Tax Deduction Certificate to the Payee.

This is just a Source of Deduction from payment, and the payee will get the credit for the Income Tax Deducted at Source while computing his income for Income Tax purposes.

Hello Sir,

My wife would like to start investment in stock market. Initial Money will be borrowed on interest [from

local private money lender].

I want to know how tax will be calculated on profit of Stock Trading.

Can she adjust the interest charges of borrowed money with share profit.

Is it required that she has to maintain any document on Borrowed money Interest.

if income does not cross 1.6 L/A then Income tax Return filling is required.

It would be better if you provide an illustation on this.

Thanks a lot in advance
Harish

But, new house will be jointly in name of him and his brother.
Shares will be separately mentioned in sale deed.
Consideration will be paid by them separately as per their share.
Whether he can get benefit of 54F?
