Tax Deducted at Source (TDS) is a mechanism where the payer deducts tax before making certain payments. Understanding TDS rules ensures you don't pay more tax than necessary.
Common TDS Scenarios
- Salary: Employer deducts TDS based on your estimated annual income
- Bank Interest: TDS at 10% if interest exceeds Rs. 40,000 (Rs. 50,000 for senior citizens)
- Rent: TDS at 10% if monthly rent exceeds Rs. 50,000
- Professional Fees: TDS at 10% for payments to contractors and professionals
How to Claim TDS Refund
If excess TDS has been deducted, you can claim a refund by filing your Income Tax Return (ITR). The refund is typically processed within a few months of filing.
