TDS Rate Chart for FY 2024-25 (AY 2025-26)

TDS is a convenient and cost-effective way to collect and pay income tax. Instead of holding the tax person responsible for the submission of tax, TDS allows the income provider to deduct the tax amount before the income is actually paid. This deducted amount is later submitted to the tax authorities by the deductor ensuring compliance on the tax person’s behalf.

TDS is deducted at a certain rate defined by the Government. This rate is not always fixed. The government revises it quite often to suit the needs of Indian taxpayers. In times of crisis, TDS rates can even be raised to increase tax collection of the Government. So, it's necessary to keep checking the latest TDS rates as per the TDS rate chart before making the tax payment.
