 What is TDS ?

Tax Deducted at Source (“TDS”) is the

advance tax mechanism (on indirect basis)
introduced by the Income Tax Department.
Under this mechanism, tax will be
deducted at the time of receipt of amount
by the assessee.
Reason of Introducing TDS

To collect the tax directly from the source.

Some people conceal their income to avoid the payment of taxes.

To overcome this problem, tax deduction at sources was derived by the

department.

Another reason for TDS Deduction is Assessee pays taxes in the assessment
year on the income earned in the Previous Year and accordingly, the tax
collection by government gets delayed till the completion of the previous
year.

In other words, income earned by

Electrician, Plumber, Technical person,
Contractor and person who is not capable
to make compliance every month, they
are trying to skip the tax payments.
Therefore, this mechanism was
introduced.
Objective of TDS India’s Leading ‘e’ Compliance
Solutions Company

To enable the salaried people to pay the tax as they earn every month. This helps
the salaried persons in paying the tax in easy installments and avoids the burden
of a lump sum payment.

To collect the tax at the time of payment of income to various assesses such as
contractors, professionals etc.

There is always a time gap between deriving of income and payment of tax there
upon .The objective of introduction of the provision tax deduction at source is to
reduce that time gap and also ensure the regular flow of funds to government.

Government requires funds throughout the year. Hence, advance tax and tax
deducted at source help the government to get funds throughout the year and run
the government smoothly.
 TDS –Tax Paid During The Year

TDS mechanism is based on the concept

” Pay as you earn” which means TDS should be

deducted during the year when the payment is made in
the previous year or financial year.

earned Income from Salary. The year closes on 31st March 2023, He is
Liable to pay taxes on his Income earned in the previous year. This implies

 Why PAN is mandatory in case of TDS/TCS? India’s Leading ‘e’ Compliance
Solutions Company

Section 206AA provides that any person whose receipts are

subject to deduction of tax at source i.e. the deductee, shall
mandatorily furnish their PAN to the deductor.

The non-quoting of PAN by deductees in many cases have led to

delay in issue of refund on account of problems in the processing
of returns of income and in granting credit for tax deducted at
source.

And the rate of TDS will be 20% in case of non availability of

PAN no.
