PAN-Aadhaar linking for TDS deduction: Deductee must verify the status Apr 06, 2024

Tax Deduction at Source

TDS deduction: Tax Deducted at Source (TDS) plays an important role in the Indian tax system, ensuring that taxes are collected at the source of income itself. It's important to not only deduct TDS at the specified rate but also to ensure the accurate deduction based on one's PAN-Aadhaar linking status. Failing to do so can lead to higher TDS rates if the PAN is inoperative or inactive due to non-linkage with Aadhaar. As per an ET report, the TDS deductor or collector may face legal consequences and tax penalties for failing to check the dedutee's PAN status and deducting a lower TDS amount than required.

      The Mumbai bench of the Income Tax Appellate Tribunal (ITAT) has come down heavily on the I-T department for its failure to take cognisance of a tax deducted at source (TDS). The TDS was on professional income earned by a taxpayer and, consequently, the I-T department also raised a tax demand on her — along with penal interest.
      A majority of taxpayers invariably incur TDS against their income — be it against salary, professional income or interest income. To carry on with this illustration, it is the employer organisation, the client and the bank which are respectively responsible for deducting tax at source and depositing it with the government.

    The government’s decision to withdraw the 5% “tax collection at source” (TCS) on sale of overseas tour packages to foreign tour operators could aid the recovery of the pandemic-stricken sector, says the Indian Association of Tour Operators (IATO) — an apex body of over 1,700 inbound tour operators. “The same was earlier withdrawn only for individual foreign tourists but now on IATO’s representation, the government has announced removal of tax, both on individual foreign tourists as well as foreign tour operators (FTO’s). The removal would make the tour packages offered by Indian tour operators to foreigners a bit cheaper and would help provide some succour to the pandemic ravaged sector,” IATO said in a statement.
