♦ The Finance Bill 2021, inserted two new section 206AB & 206CCA. The said section provide for higher rate of TDS/TCS to be applied for the non-filers of income tax return.

♦ TDS/TCS was already deducted or collected at higher rates u/s 206AA & 206CC respectively for “NON-FURNISHING OF PAN”.

♦ Further, sub-section 2 of 206AB provides that where both the section 206AA & 206AB are applicable i.e. the specified person has not submitted PAN as well as not filed the Income tax return , the tax shall be deducted at higher rate amongst the both section respectively.
