What is Tax deduction at source in India and how does it affect you?
There can be different sources of income for a person. Income tax is a direct tax that they are required to pay and it depends on which tax bracket their total income falls in. According to the Indian tax system, Tax Deducted at Source (TDS) is an important term in taxation, which has a significant impact on taxpayers. It is a way of collecting income tax by the government and it is convenient for the deductee (the person from whose income deduction is made) as it is deducted automatically.
