Under the scheme of deduction of tax at source as provided in the Income-tax Act, every person responsible for payment of any specified sum to any person is required to deduct tax at source at the prescribed rate and deposit it with the Central Government within the specified time. However, no deduction is required to be made if the payments do not exceed prescribed threshold limits.

In order to adjust for inflation and also to reduce the compliance burden of deductors and taxpayers, it is proposed to raise the threshold limit for payments mentioned in sections 194B, 194BB, 194C, 194D, 194H, 194-I and 194J as under:

SECTION NATURE OF PAYMENT
Existing threshold limit of payment Proposed threshold
limit of payment
(Rupees)
194B WINNING FROM LOTTERY 5000 10000
194BB WINNING FROM HORSE RACE 2500 5000
194C CONTRACT 20000 per contract 30000 per contract
50000 per annum 75000 per annum
194D INSURANCE 5000 20000
COMMSSION
194H COMMSSION/BROKERAGE 2500 5000
194I RENT 120000 180000
194J PROFESSIONAL/TECHNICAL 20000 30000

These amendments are proposed to take effect from 1st July, 2010. [Clauses 35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40, 41 of Finance Bill 2010]

    I am a lady aged 63 years. I have an annual income of Rs. 4 Lacs, almost all from Bank deposits. Considering the current income tax slabs of “1.9 lacs- No Tax and Up to 5 Lacs 10% tax”, my tax commitment for AY 11-12, works out to only about Rs. 21,000. As banks are deducting 10% TDS on all interest income over Rs. 10,000, I end up paying Rs 40,000 as tax through TDS. Why not the govt raise the TDS limit in this case to 20000, to match with latest tax slabs? Can I give From-15G to avoid avoid excessive TDS? Can some body help me on this?

    Does the threshhold limit in case of transporter where the PAN is unavailable exists ? i.e. one time payment of Rs 15000 will not attract TDS even if PAN is not quoted. Kindly comment.

    Rent agreement says Rs 15000/- as rent to be paid to lessor. Rs 1500/- Building Maintenance to be paid to The maintenance in charge. IN this case is TDS applicable on the amount of Rs 1500/- per month. IF so at what is the percentage and what is the maiximum limit ?

  6. Bryan Ferrao says:

    In the rent agreement, if the rent is mentioned as 15000 per month and building maintenance Rs 1500/- to be paid to the The maintenance in charge, Is TDS applicable on the maintenace payable if the amount is below 20000 per annum.
