What is Tax Deducted at Source (TDS)?

TDS is tax deducted when specified income is credited or paid. The deductor deposits this amount with the government against the recipient’s PAN. TDS can apply to salary, interest, rent, commission, professional fees, and property transactions. Recipients report gross income and claim eligible credit.

A deductor files a TDS return recording payments, deductions, deposits, PAN details, rates, and applicable provisions. Quarterly deadlines are generally 31 July, 31 October, 31 January, and 31 May respectively.
