Types of TDS returns

What is TDS?

TDS (Tax Deducted at Source) is a system where tax is deducted at the time of making payments such as salary, rent, interest, commission, or professional fees. The person making the payment (deductor) deducts the tax and deposits it with the government.

The recipient (deductee) gets credit for this tax, which is shown in their Form 26AS and can be adjusted against their income tax liability.
