Tax Deduction at Source (TDS) is an important tax compliance. TDS applies to any payment that is changing hands as an income for the receiving party. The payor must deduct TDS from any such payment if it exceeds the threshold limit specified for that kind of transaction.

CBDT and Ministry of Finance have specified the rates for such TDS deductions. The rates and threshold limits vary based on the purpose of the transaction or type of income.

Also, any TDS deductions must be submitted to the central government account

A taxpayer (deductor) who makes payment of specified nature to the deductee, is responsible to deduct tax at source and submit the same into the account of the Central Government.

Here is the TDS rate chart for a person other than a company AY 2021-22, i.e., FY 2020-21:

TDS Slab Rates for Salaried Professionals

TDS deduction for you will happen at the slab rates if you are salaried. Starting FY 2020-21, you have the option of sticking with the old income tax slabs or go for the New Tax Regime.

Here are the TDS slab rates for salaried under the new regime:

Income Tax Slab	TDS Slab Rates FY 2020-21	Max. Tax in Rs.
Rs 0.0 – 2.5 Lakhs	NIL	0
Rs 2.5 Lakhs - 3 Lakhs*	5%	2500
Rs. 3 Lakhs – 5 Lakhs*	5%	12,500
Rs. 5 Lakhs - 7.5 Lakhs	10%	37,500
Rs 7.5 Lakhs – 10 Lakhs	15%	75,000
Rs 10 Lakhs - 12.50 Lakhs	20%	1,25,000
Rs. 12.5 Lakhs - 15 Lakhs	25%	1,87,500
> Rs. 15 Lakhs	30%	1,87,500 + 30% of income over Rs 15 lakhs

* Tax rebate u/s 87a is available

However, under the new tax regime section 87A is the only tax rebate available. All other modes of tax saving and set-off and carry forward of losses will not apply from the old regime.

Thus, if you have been following the tax saving investments to reduce your tax liability, you should continue with the old regime of TDS slab rates.

Sunset Period for Lower TDS Rates due to COVID-19

Due to COVID-19 pandemic, the Government has specified Lower TDS rates.

The TDS rates for the specified non-salaried payments made to the residents have been reduced by 25% of the applicable rates. This is for the period from 14th May 2020 to 31st March 2021.

These shall be the concessional rates of TDS that will be applicable only till 31st March 2021. Hence, old TDS rates shall apply with effect from 1st April 2021.

Detailed Explanations of Changes to TDS in Budget 2021

The changes in the TDS rules in the Union Budget 2021 are explained below:

i. TDS Rate Change

The new section 194Q has been introduced to provide for TDS deduction @ 0.1% by a buyer for paying any sum to a resident for the purchase of goods.

ii. Tax Deductor

TDS u/s 194Q is to be deducted only by the buyer whose total sales or gross receipts / turnover from the business carried on by him is above Rs 10 Crores during the previous financial year.

iii. Threshold

The TDS deduction by the buyer, if the purchase of goods by him from the seller is of the value or aggregate of such value exceeding Rs. 50 Lakhs in the previous year.

iv. Where is TDS Not Applicable

The provisions for TDS Deduction under this section shall not apply to:

Transaction on which TDS is deductible under any provision of the Act; and
Transaction, on which TDS is collectible u/s 206C

v. TDS Exemption

Central Government may exempt a person from obligation of TDS under this section on fulfillment of conditions as may be specified in that notification. The Board with the approval of the Central Government has been empowered to issue guidelines for removing difficulty in giving effect to the provisions of this section.

vi. TCS Exemption

In case of a transaction where TDS or TCS is to be deducted under any other provision, TDS u/s 194Q shall not apply.

However, if on a transaction both TCS u/s 206C(1H) and TDS u/s 194Q apply, then only TDS shall be deducted.

Note: Under section 206C(1H), if his/her turnover is more than Rs 10 crores, the taxpayer has to collect TCS on his/her receipts from sale of goods from buyers from whom s/he has received more than Rs. 50 Lakhs as sale consideration.

vii. Higher TDS rate due to PAN not available

If PAN is not provided, TDS is required to be deducted at the rate of 5%.

viii. TDS/ TCS on non-filers of ITR at higher rate

If income-tax return is not filed, TDS deduction shall be at higher rate of the following:

at twice the rate specified in the relevant provision of the Act; or
at twice the rate or rates in force; or
at the rate of 5%
