Tax deducted at source is the practice of reducing the tax evasion and the spillage by TDS payment mandatory at pre refined rates.

TDS was introduced to collect the tax from the source of income. Here the deductor who is liable to make payment to the deductee should deduct the tax at source and remit the same into the account of the central government.

TDS is deducted only the total income is taxable, the TDS will not be deducted in case the total income is Rs 2,50,000 and this amount is applicable for both men and women below the age of 60 years.

There is a penalty for not depositing or not deducting TDS on time, the employer can make the interest payment on such late payment of the TDS before filing the TDS returns or the demand raised by TRACES.

First compute the exemptions that are available under Section 10 of the Income Tax (ITA) then subtract the exemptions that are found in step (2) from the gross monthly income calculated in step (1), multiply the obtained number from the above calculation by 12 as the TDS is computed on the yearly income.

It takes 30-45 days from the date of the E-verification of the income tax return to get the refund credited.

TDS returns are filed by employers or organizations who have a valid Tax Collection and Deduction Number (TAN). A person who is making specified payments that are mentioned under the Income Tax Act is required to deduct tax at the source and it to be deposited within a stipulated time.

In case a person fails to file the statement of TDS within the due date there is a minimum penalty of Rs.10,000 which can be extended to Rs.1,00,000.

It takes 30-45 days to reflect the TDS deposit in Form 26AS, depending on the efficiency of the company’s accounts department.
