Core statutory concepts of Tax Deducted at Source under the Income Tax Act, 1961.
Tax Deducted at Source (TDS) is a mechanism where the person or entity making a payment deducts tax at the specified rate before remitting the balance to the payee.
TDS ensures steady revenue collection for the government throughout the financial year, minimizes tax evasion, and widens the direct tax base.
Any entity, business, or individual (subject to tax audit criteria) making specified payments like salaries, contracts, rent, or professional fees must deduct TDS.
The deductee receives the net payment along with a TDS certificate (Form 16 or 16A) and can claim this deducted amount against their final income tax liability.
This calculator provides an estimate for informational purposes only. Actual TDS may depend on the nature of the payment, applicable provisions, thresholds, exemptions, lower deduction declarations (Form 13/15G/15H) and other circumstances. Always verify the applicable rules against latest official sources or consult a qualified tax professional.
