COMES UNDER ACT?

SECTION I: INTRODUCTION TO TDS: In this article I will be writing about the Tax Deduction at Source(TDS) and the rate for some of the TDS. We all aware that we need to pay the Income Tax for our income. In some cases the employer will be taking care of paying the total tax amount to the government in behalf of all the employees by deducting the tax amount from their salaries. This process is called TDS or Tax Deduction at Source. This article will explore some of the facts related to TDS. What is TDS? Taxes are deducted at the time of calculating your income. For example, you are working for a company X. Every money they will be paying you the salary of Rs.350000. If you are looking into your pay slip there is a Colum name IT which mention the tax amount deducted from your salary. Actually the tax amount is deducted by your company and then pays to the government. Whereas if you are not working for any company or doing the professional jobs like Doctor, Charted Accountant(CA),etc. You are liable to pay the tax to the government. Who is eligible for TDS: Not everyone can deduct the tax at source. You have to apply for the Tax Deduction Account Number(TAN). TAN or Tax Deduction and Collection Account Number is a 10 digit alpha numeric number required to be obtained by all persons who are responsible for deducting or collecting tax. It is compulsory to quote TAN in TDS/TCS return (including any e-TDS/TCS return), any TDS/TCS payment challan and TDS/TCS certificates. How to apply for TAN? An application for allotment of TAN is to be filed in Form 49B and submitted at any of the TIN Facilitation Centers meant for receipt of e-TDS returns. Addresses of the TIN FC are available at www.incometaxindia.gov.in or http://tin.nsdl.com. TAN is allotted by the Income Tax Department on the basis of the application submitted to TIN Facilitation Centers managed by NSDL. NSDL will intimate the TAN which will be required to be mentioned in all future correspondence relating to TDS/TCS.

SECTION: 2 WHAT IS TDS and WHAT IS TCS: TDS means Tax Deducted at Source. The concept of TDS was introduced in the Income Tax Act, 1961, with the objective of deducting the tax on an income, at the source of income. It is one of the methods of collecting Income Tax, which ensures regular flow of revenue to the Government. What is TCS: The seller has to collect tax from the payer who has purchased the following items :
y y y y y y y y y

SECTION: 7 Due date of payment: Due date for payment of TDS in respect of payments/Credit Related to March 2011 (Including the Expenses/Provisions/ Credits on 31St March) is April 30. So those who have not made TDS payment by 7th April can relax and pay the same by 30th April without any late payment Interest and without worrying for disallowance of expenses. The amendment in due date is made vide Notification No. 41/2010 dated 31 May 2010 (new Notification), notified Income-tax (Sixth Amendment) Rules, 2010 which amends the Rules. The Notification is effective from 1 April 2010 and applies to tax deducted/collected on or after 1 April 2010. So now the time limit for deposit of TDS for the entire month of March is rationalized to 30 April instead of two separate time limits viz. 7 April for TDS up to 30 March and 31 May for TDS as of 31 March.Deductors will also need to note that the time limit for filing quarterly TDS statements for last quarter of FY has been advanced to 15 May instead of 15 June. The time tested 'TDS certificate' in form 16A is being abolished. But it is being replaced by on-line credit as evidenced by form an annual statement in electronic form 26AS. Your PAN card entitles you to a number of facilities, which may be unknown to you. Two important features applicable to all PAN card holders are mentioned below:

The first point to remember is that even if you have a PAN card, you need not file your IT return automatically unless you have a taxable income or a refund claim. [Section 139(1)] It is possible that tax has been deducted at source from salary, professional income and other sources such as interest, rent etc. But, the Income tax Department, on its part will reconcile the data received from banks and deductors through NSDL and send an annual statement (26AS) in electronic form to the deductees before 31st July, 2009. (IT Rule 31AB). Refund for excess tax deducted at source will be given only on the basis of 26AS information & not on the basis of certificates issued by the deductor (s). [IT Rule 37BA]. Moreover, 26AS information is available in electronic form only and you must get proper authorization from NSDL before having access to your 26AS statement. (NSDL Rules) Under the present conditions, RCA, understands the practical difficulties and is making the process as simple as possible. You can therefore adopt the following procedure if you have a TDS claim: Contact us with your PAN card (original as well as photocopy) and proof of present address. We will get for you the authorization acknowledgement which you can use for having access to 26AS statement in future. (Processing charge Rs.200) Contact us again with the authorization letter after 20th June and get two printed copies of 26AS statement for the year ended 31st March, 2009. You can use this statement for reconciling the tax deduction details. We also offer services for filing of the Income-tax returns.
