In a TDS Return, Code 'A' is to specify that TDS has been deducted on lower rate due to application of Section 197 while Code 'B' is to specify that TDS has not been deducted due to application of Section 197A.

Reason where code used for Lower / Higher / No Deduction in TDS Returns
Code A - Lower / No Deduction due to Certificate under Section 197: If the deductor has received a certificate under Section 197 allowing for a lower or no deduction of TDS.
Code B - No Deduction due to Declaration under Section 197A: Allowed only for specific sections (194, 194A, 194EE, 193, 194DA & 192A). If the deductor has received a declaration under Section 197A, allowing for no deduction of TDS.
Code C - Higher Rate of TDS due to Non-Availability of PAN: If the deductee does not have a PAN (Permanent Account Number), higher TDS rates may apply.
Code T - Exemption for TDS on Payments to Transporters under Section 194C: TDS is exempted on payments to transporters if certain specified conditions are fulfilled under Section 194C.
Code Y - No Deduction due to Amount Below Threshold Limit: If the payment to the vendor/party does not exceed the threshold limit, no TDS is required, and it may be reported with the 'no-deduction' code 'Y' in the remarks. These remarks are typically used in the context of deducting tax at source in various financial transactions, and they provide information on the specific reasons for lower, higher, or no deduction of TDS.
