Frequently asked questions

Quick answers to common questions about tds calculator.

TDS on salary is deducted under Section 192 at the slab rate applicable to the employee's estimated total income for the year. Employers must consider declarations, deductions and 87A rebate before deciding the monthly TDS amount, deposit it by the 7th of the next month, and issue Form 16 by 15 June.

Banks deduct TDS under Section 194A at 10% on interest exceeding ₹40,000 (₹50,000 for senior citizens) in a financial year. For recurring deposits exceeding ₹5,000 interest, the threshold drops to ₹5,000. Submit Form 15G/15H if your total income is below the basic exemption to avoid deduction.

Section 194-I mandates 10% TDS on rent paid to a resident, with the threshold being ₹2,40,000 per year (combined for all landlords per PAN). Use this calculator to verify the monthly TDS and deposit it using Form 26Q by the 7th of the next month.
