Q. What is TDS in salary and other payment?
TDS, or Tax Deducted at Source, is a tax levied by the Indian government wherein taxes are collected based on 'pay as you get'. The taxes are deducted at payment sources such as salary paid to an employee or other commissions earned by a broker. The employer deducts the taxes before making the payment to the employee and is deposited with the govt. The employer later issues form 16 to its employees and form 16B to other deductees, which serves as proof of tax payment in their hands.
