Normally, a person is supposed to pay income tax, at the time of filing his income return for the year. However, the concept of Tax Deducted at Source or TDS, was introduced in India with an aim to deduct tax at the source by deducting it as and when it is originating and not at a later date. Thus, by introducing TDS, the government collected tax in advance so as to lessen the chances of tax evasion by the taxpayer. In this article, we will be discussing the rate of TDS for FY 2021-22.
