FAQs

What to do if there is any mistake in deduction of Tax at Source (TDS)?

Sometimes a person may deduct TDS at a rate that is less than the rate specified in the Act due to ignorance or another reason. Therefore, it is crucial to confirm the rate at which TDS is deducted for each transaction before submitting the TDS return.

What is the rate of TDS on salary?

The amount of TDS to be deducted is calculated by dividing the employee’s projected tax due for the fiscal year by the number of months they worked for the specific employer.
