TDS (Tax
Deducted at Source) is a tax collection method where a person or business
deducts tax before making payments like salary, rent, or professional fees and
deposits it with the government. It applies to employers, companies, and
individuals required to deduct tax under various sections based on threshold
limits. TDS must be deducted at the time of payment or credit, whichever is
earlier, and deposited by the 7th of the following month (April 30th for
March). This system ensures timely tax collection, reduces tax payment burdens,
and avoids penalties for non-compliance.
