Tax Deduction at Source (TDS) Rate FY 2023-24 (AY 2024-25)

Tax Deduction at Source (TDS) Rate FY 2023-24 (AY 2024-25)

What does TDS (Tax Deducted at Source) stand for?

Tax deducted at source is referred to as TDS. If a payment exceeds certain thresholds, the Income Tax Act, 1961 requires that any corporation or individual making the payment deduct tax at the source. TDS must be subtracted at the rates authorized by the tax department.

TDS (Tax Deduction at Source) is a key compliance requirement for Income Tax Assessors. Several sections of the Income Tax Act specify TDS rates, payment forms, and TDS threshold limits. TDS has experienced significant changes as a result of Budget 2023.

The maximum TDS on cash withdrawals supplied to cooperative societies has been raised to 3 crores, the minimum threshold for TDS on online gaming has been eliminated, and the TDS rate on the taxable share of EPF withdrawals in non-PAN situations has been reduced from 30% to 20%.

"This blog contains a table of the different TDS rates for the financial year (FY) 2023-2024 or Assessment Year (AY) 2024-2025."

Changes to TDS in the Union Budget 2023-24:

The TDS Rate Chart has been updated for fiscal years 2023-2024/academic years 2024-2025. These changes are as follows:

  • Section 194BA: TDS on gaming revenues implemented on April 1, 2024.
  • Section 196A: Beginning April 1, 2023, non-residents earning income from mutual funds in India can submit a Tax Residency Certificate to get TDS at the rate indicated in the tax treaty, rather than the flat rate of 20%.
  • Section 192A: The TDS rate on PF withdrawals for employees without PANs has been lowered from the maximum marginal rate to 20%.
  • Section 193: Listed debentures' interest is subject to TDS. Interest earned on such specified securities must thus be taxed.
  • Section 194N: A higher TDS threshold is now in place for cash withdrawals from cooperative organizations. Starting on April 1, 2023, the tax will be deducted from cash withdrawals that are more than Rs 3 crore, up from the previous limit of Rs 1 crore.

192A Premature withdrawal from EPF 10% 50,000 The second clause in Section 192A of the Act, which would cause tax to be deducted, is proposed to be removed. The act's second clause, which would cause tax to be withheld at a rate of 20% rather than the top marginal rate if the individual failed to produce their PAN for payment of their outstanding amount, is being suggested to be removed. This modification would take effect in the Assessment Year 2023–2024.
193 Interest on Securities 10% 2500 According to the proposal, the proviso to Section 193 of the Act's clause should be removed. As a result, beginning on April 1, 2023, interest payments made on listed debentures to residents will no longer be free from TDS.

The way the calculation is done must be specified.
