TDS FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions

1 What is Tax Deducted at Source (TDS)?
TDS is a mechanism introduced by the income tax department where the person responsible for making specified payments (such as salary, rent, commission, professional fees, or contracts) deducts tax at the source before transferring the remaining balance to the payee.
2 What are the common TDS section categories?
Common categories include: Section 194C (contractors: 1% for individuals, 2% for corporates), Section 194J (professional/technical services: 10% or 2% for specific cases), Section 194I (rent: 10% on land/buildings, 2% on plant/machinery), and Section 194H (commission: 5%).
3 What happens to the TDS rate if PAN is not provided?
If the payee does not provide their Permanent Account Number (PAN) to the deductor, the tax is deducted at a flat penalty rate of 20% (or the applicable rate in the section, whichever is higher) under Section 206AA.
4 How can I claim credit for TDS deducted?
Deductors issue Form 16 (for salaries) or Form 16A (for non-salaries) indicating the tax withheld. The deductions are logged against your PAN in Form 26AS or the Annual Information Statement (AIS) and can be claimed to offset your total tax payable during ITR filing.
5 Are my commercial invoice details secure?
Yes. All invoice amounts, tax sections, PAN parameters, and net payouts are computed locally inside your browser thread sandbox. No commercial variables are sent or recorded on external databases.
