Tax Deducted at Source (TDS) is an advance tax collected by the Income Tax Department. Any person or business making specified payments (such as salary, interest, rent, contractor fee, professional fees) must deduct TDS at prescribed rates before releasing payment to the payee.
Under Section 206AA of the Income Tax Act, if the deductee does not furnish a valid Permanent Account Number (PAN), TDS must be deducted at the higher rate of 20% (or the applicable section rate, whichever is higher).
Individuals whose total annual income is below the taxable threshold can submit Form 15G (under 60 years) or Form 15H (Senior Citizens 60+ years) to banks/NBFCs to prevent TDS deduction on Fixed Deposit interest.
Gross-Up TDS calculation is used when a contract specifies that the payee/vendor must receive a fixed net amount. The payer computes the total gross invoice amount = Net Amount / (1 - TDS%), bearing the TDS cost.
Deducted TDS must be deposited into the government treasury using Challan ITNS 281 by the 7th of the following month (except for March TDS, which can be deposited by April 30th).
Payers issue Form 16 (for Salary) or Form 16A (for non-salary payments) quarterly. Deductees can view credited TDS in their Form 26AS and AIS (Annual Information Statement) on the e-filing portal and claim it as tax paid when filing ITR.
