Frequently asked questions
What is TDS?
TDS (Tax Deducted at Source) is a mechanism where the payer deducts a portion of tax before making payment and deposits it directly to the government. The payee can claim this as a credit against their final income tax liability when filing returns.
What happens if TDS is not deducted?
The payer is treated as an assessee-in-default and is liable to pay the TDS amount plus interest at 1.5% per month from the date it was deductible. The payer may also be unable to claim the payment as a deductible business expense.
How does the payee claim TDS credit?
TDS deducted reflects in Form 26AS and the Annual Information Statement (AIS). When filing ITR, the payee can claim credit for all TDS deducted during the year. If TDS is more than the tax liability, the excess is refunded by the IT department.
What is Form 16 and Form 16A?
Form 16 is the TDS certificate issued by the employer for salary TDS (Section 192). Form 16A is issued for non-salary TDS (interest, rent, fees, etc.). Both must be issued by the deductor within the due date after each quarter.
