Comprehensive Guide to Tax Deduction at Source

Salary As per Slab Based on estimated total income
Professional / Tech Fees 2% / 10% Threshold: ₹50,000
Contractor Payments 1% / 2% ₹30k (Single) / ₹1L (Aggregate)
Rent (Machinery/Land) 2% / 10% Threshold: ₹50,000 / month

🚨 Important Practical Points
Timing of Deduction Earlier of Payment or Credit. Mere provision in books triggers TDS liability.
PAN Mandatory (Sec 206AA) Non-availability of PAN leads to deduction at a higher rate (usually 20%).
194Q vs 206C(1H) If 194Q (TDS) applies, then 206C(1H) (TCS) is not applicable. Priority goes to TDS.
Impact of Non-Compliance Interest (1% - 1.5%), 30% Expense Disallowance, and potential penalties.
