In my earlier post on TDS Compliances,  I have shared what TDS was all about. When it is required to deduct? What are its due dates?
Now, in this post I would like to share the Section wise TDS rates and the threshold limit thereon for TDS deduction in FY 2020-21.
In order to meet out economic situation arising out of Covid-19 pandemic, the TDS rates for certain non-salaried payments made to residents is reduced by 25% for the period from 14th May, 2020 to 31st March, 2021.
