Lower TDS rates means TDS rated which are below the normal TDS rates.

Form 15G is a kind of declaration form in which the assessee declares that his Gross Total Income is below the maximum taxable limit. So his TDS should not be deducted.

Form 13 is taken when assessee thinks that if someone is deducting TDS @ 20% But his total tax liablity will be less than tds deducted becoz he is having investment & losses in other head then it is requried so that tds will not exceed actual tax liablity

so dif between Form 13 & 15 as below

Form 13- Wher Actual tax liablity will be lower than TDS deducted

Form 15G- Where actual tax liablity will be Nill

Form 15G is filed when any person having income from salaries or interest is not having taxable gross income. This form is generally filed with Banks (in case of TDS on FDR Interest), to take one example.

Then, there is Form 15H which is to be filed in case of senior citizens, however, in this case taxability of net income is to be considered, hence benefit of SEC 80C etc will be available.

U/s 197 of the IT Act, there is a provision, under which if a person is not liable to tax or due to the lower taxable income, feels that TDS should be deducted at lower rate as comapred to the rates in force, he can file declaration under this section.
