How TDS works in India
TDS (Tax Deducted at Source) requires the payer to withhold a percentage of certain payments and deposit it with the government. The rate and threshold depend on the section — 194C for contractors, 194J for professional fees, 194I for rent, and more. Deduct only when the payment crosses the section's threshold.
Indian SaaS context: Newer sections catch modern businesses: 194Q (0.1% on goods purchases above ₹50L for buyers with turnover over ₹10Cr) and 194R (10% on benefits and perquisites — the section that trips up D2C brands running influencer campaigns). Missing PAN triggers Sec 206AA and a 20% floor.
Frequently asked questions
How do I know which TDS section applies?+
It depends on the nature of the payment: contractor work is 194C, professional or technical fees 194J, commission 194H, rent 194I, and so on. Pick the closest description in the dropdown — each maps to the correct section and rate.
What happens if the vendor has no PAN?+
Section 206AA kicks in: TDS is deducted at the higher of the section rate or 20%. So a 194J payment that would normally attract 10% is deducted at 20% if the deductee hasn't furnished a PAN.
When must I deposit the TDS I deduct?+
By the 7th of the month following deduction — except for March, where the deadline is 30 April. Late deposit attracts interest at 1.5% per month, so don't sit on deducted TDS.
