Tax deducted at source on common payments.

₹10,000

10% under section 194J

TDS is not an extra tax: it is an advance on the recipient's tax, credited against their PAN and visible in Form 26AS. Without a PAN, TDS is usually 20% or twice the normal rate.

What this calculates

Tax Deducted at Source is collected by the payer when certain payments cross a threshold. It is credited to the recipient's PAN and adjusted against their final tax.

How it's calculated

TDS = Payment × rate, if the payment crosses the section's threshold
