Frequently asked questions
Does TDS apply to every payment, no matter how small?+
No — most TDS sections have a minimum threshold below which no deduction is required. This calculator applies the rate directly without checking thresholds, so confirm your specific section's current threshold before assuming TDS applies.
Can the recipient get the TDS amount back?+
Yes — TDS is treated as tax already paid on the recipient's behalf. They claim credit for it (shown in their Form 26AS) when filing their income tax return, and get a refund if their actual tax liability is lower than the amount deducted.
What if I don't have a PAN?+
TDS is typically deducted at a higher rate (often 20%) if the recipient doesn't provide a valid PAN — well above the standard section rates shown here. Always provide your PAN to avoid this higher deduction.
