What is TDS (Tax Deducted at Source)

TDS (Tax Deducted at Source) is a system where the payer deducts a portion of the income as tax at the source before the payment is made to the recipient. This means that tax is collected at the point of income generation rather than at the time of tax filing.
Examples of income where TDS is applicable include:
  • Salary payments: Employers deduct TDS from the salary of their employees.

  • Interest income: Banks and financial institutions deduct TDS on interest earned from savings accounts or fixed deposits.

  • Rent: Rent payments made by tenants to landlords are subject to TDS.

  • Professional fees: TDS is deducted from payments made for professional services, such as legal or consultancy fees.

Why Is TDS Important?

  • Ensures timely tax collection for the government: TDS allows the government to collect taxes in a regular and efficient manner, ensuring a steady flow of revenue.

  • Minimizes tax evasion: By collecting tax at the source of income generation, TDS reduces the chances of tax evasion, as it is deducted before the income reaches the recipient.

TDS ensures that tax is deducted and deposited with the government at the time of income generation, streamlining the entire process of tax collection and compliance.
