The TDS stands for Tax Deducted at Source. Once the deduction is made, the taxpayer deposits TDS with the IT Department. A certain proportion of one's monthly income is taxed at the time of payment.

More About TDS

  • TDS is a sub-component of income tax. The sources of income can include commissions, salary, rent, online wagering, and so forth, which are eligible for TDS.    
  • TDS certifications include Form 16, Form 16A, Form 16B, and Form 16C. 
  • The income tax legislation specifies the most common TDS payment frequencies. The payer deducts TDS based on these defined rates.
  • You are not required to pay any taxes if you provide your employer with investment evidence (in order to claim deductions), and your total taxable earnings are less than the taxable threshold. Therefore, your income shouldn't be subject to any TDS deductions.
  • You can submit Forms 15G and 15H to the banking institution if your revenue falls below the taxable threshold. It is intended to keep banks from taking TDS on your interest income. 
  • You are eligible to submit an income tax return file and obtain the money back if your total earnings are below the threshold. 
  • The TDS return must be filed every quarter and include a number of details, including the PAN of the deductee, earning type, the amount of TDS deducted, and the TAN. 
  • The income tax division has begun texting taxpayers from VK-ITDEFL. It includes the total amount of tax taken at source (TDS) in relation to the taxpayer's PAN number. 
  • The Finance Ministry launched the SMS alert program to improve transparency and minimize the incidence of TDS mismatch situations during the tax filing phase.
