Tax Deducted at Source (TDS) is a system introduced under the Income-tax Law for efficient and timely tax collection at the point where income is generated. Under this mechanism, tax is deducted by the payer from specified payments and remitted to the government on behalf of the payee. The objective is to ensure a steady inflow of revenue to the exchequer and to reduce tax evasion by collecting tax at the very source of income generation. TDS provisions are applicable to a wide range of transactions, including payments such as salaries, interest, commission, brokerage, professional or technical fees, royalties, and contractual payments. The person responsible for making such payments is required to deduct the prescribed amount of tax before disbursing the income and deposit it to the credit of the Central Government within the stipulated time. This system thus acts as an advance collection mechanism, ensuring tax liability is partially met throughout the year rather than in a lump sum at the time of filing returns.

For the financial year 2025–26 (assessment year 2026–27), TDS rates vary depending on the nature of payment, the residential status of the payee, and the category of taxpayer—individuals, Hindu Undivided Families (HUFs), companies, or non-residents. For residents, TDS on salary (Section 192) follows normal slab rates, while interest on securities (Section 193), dividends (Section 194), and other similar payments generally attract 10%. Winnings from lotteries, horse races, and online games (Sections 194B, 194BB, 194BA) are subject to a 30% deduction. Contractual and professional payments (Sections 194C, 194J) are liable at 1–2% and 2–10% respectively, while rent (Section 194-I) ranges between 2–10% depending on the asset type. Certain specific provisions such as Section 194Q (purchase of goods) and Section 194O (e-commerce transactions) prescribe 0.1% TDS, whereas new provisions like Section 194T (effective from April 1, 2025) cover payments to partners of firms. For non-residents, higher rates apply to certain payments, including royalties, technical fees, and capital gains, generally ranging between 10% and 30%. In cases where the deductee fails to furnish a Permanent Account Number (PAN), Section 206AA mandates TDS at 20% or the applicable rate, whichever is higher. Additionally, payments to entities in notified jurisdictions under Section 94A(5) attract a minimum TDS rate of 30%. Collectively, these provisions ensure a structured and transparent mechanism of tax collection aligned with compliance requirements for all categories of taxpayers.

Q1. 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.

    I am proprietor of company.I am resident on rent and I am paid rent Rs 50000/- per month. I want to know on this rent Tds is applicable or not ?

  2. Moses says:

    I am a business consultant to a group of Companies numbering six. 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.

    A Non Resident party issued an Invoice detailing Software Upgradation Charges to our Resident client. I want to know whether our client needs to deduct TDS of such Non Resident. If Yes then under which Section??

  5. Anand says:

    Smt. Rita Bedi,

    Madam,

    1. Deposit TDS now.
    2. Inform Circle TDS Officer voluntarily.
    3. Request him for condonation of delay.
    4. Mention the case law of – Jaslok Hospital & Research … vs Department Of Income Tax on 7 November, 2012 and Mls Eli Lilly & Co. (India)(P) Ltd., 312 ITR 225 (SC).
    5. Also, there is a case law (unable to recall)that says – Penalty can not be imposed on deductor for failing to deduct TDS, if the deductee has discharged his tax liabilities well.

    This is not an expert opinion.

    TDS on service Tax portion of a bill is not to be made as per circular no. 01/2014 of CBDT. Also, do not get confused with the words agreement/contract mentioned in it. It is applicable to all bills/invoices.

    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.

  11. joginder sud says:

    So much has been written on TDS problems faced by tax payers. No body has tackled the issue as to what can tax payer do if the deductor fails to file correction for TDS mismatch on form 26As.There is need to hold deductor responsible if he fails to correct the mismatch.

    Sri Manish Tanwar:

    Sir,
    You can not deduct Tax on purchase of office items like stationery etc. TDS is not required to be deducted on supply of goods. If the bill consist of any type of service charges, then TDS is required to be deducted on whole amount u/s 194C.

    Thanks,

    Sri G.K.Sharma:

    Sir,

    The TDS will be deducted from the payment to be made to the Bank if it exceeds Rs. 50,00,000/-. The irony is that, the Bank is not entitled to claim this TDS credit in the Annual Income Tax Return.

    Thanks,
    Anand Prakash Choudhary

  15. Anand says:

    Sir, your answer to the FAQ – Whether any person is exempted from TDS deduction? Is there any such relaxation? If so what is the procedure that should be followed? seems not to be correct. The assessing Officer is required to issue a certificate for lower deduction of tax or nil deduction of tax u/s 197(1) only from ITD system (internal software of Income Tax Department) and not on the palin paper.

    Thanks,
    Anand Prakash Choudhary

  31. SANJAY BHUNIA says:

    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?

  32. S.Ramakrishnan says:

    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

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

    Thanks a lot in advance
