TDS क्या होता है? (What is TDS?)

TDS (Tax Deducted at Source) — यह एक tax collection mechanism है जहाँ payer (जो payment दे रहा है) tax काट कर directly government को जमा करता है। बाकी amount payee को मिलती है।

Example: Bank आपको FD interest ₹1,00,000 देना है। TDS @ 10% = ₹10,000। आपको मिलेगा ₹90,000। Bank ने ₹10,000 आपकी तरफ से IT department को भेज दिया। यही TDS है।

TDS बचाने के तरीके (How to Avoid TDS)

Form 15G / 15H: If your total income is below taxable limit, submit Form 15G (below 60 yrs) or Form 15H (senior citizens) to your bank — zero TDS on FD interest.
Salary TDS: Declare all investments (80C, HRA, home loan) to HR at start of year — reduces TDS from salary.
Refund: If excess TDS deducted, file ITR and claim refund. Usually credited in 3-4 months.

Frequently Asked Questions

TDS on Salary Formula

TDS = Estimated Annual Tax ÷ 12 (per month)
Annual tax = Tax on (Gross Salary − Standard Deduction − Declared Investments − HRA exemption).
Employer adjusts TDS in Q4 based on actual proofs submitted.

Worked Example

Ravi earns ₹15L annual salary. Under New Regime: tax = ₹1,30,000 (before cess). Monthly TDS = 1,30,000 + cess(₹5,200) = 1,35,200 ÷ 12 = ₹11,270/month. If Ravi declares NPS under 80CCD(2): tax reduces → TDS reduces.

TDS (Tax Deducted at Source) is tax deducted before income reaches you. Rates: Salary (192): as per income slab; FD interest (194A): 10% subject to the applicable threshold; Rent (194-I): 10% for land/building/furniture/fittings; Professional fees (194J): 10% for other sums and 2% for specified technical-fee cases, subject to the applicable threshold.
If TDS deducted exceeds your actual tax liability, you get a refund by filing ITR. Example: employer deducted ₹50,000 TDS but your actual tax = ₹30,000 → refund of ₹20,000 after ITR filing. Refunds are processed within 20-45 days of ITR verification.
Form 26AS is your annual tax statement showing all TDS deducted on your behalf by employers, banks, tenants etc. Download from incometax.gov.in. Cross-check with Form 16 — they should match. Any mismatch must be resolved before filing ITR to avoid notices.
