Think of it like a small advance payment of your yearly tax. Instead of you paying a big tax amount at the end of the year, the person who pays you money cuts a small part as tax and gives it directly to the government. This system is a key part of the Income Tax Act, 1961. It helps the government get a steady flow of money and makes it easier for you to pay your taxes.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-770779 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/infinitylearn.com\/surge\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/TDS-Full-Form-Tax-Deducted-at-Source.jpg\" alt=\"TDS Full Form - Tax Deducted at Source\" width=\"984\" height=\"559\" srcset=\"https:\/\/infinitylearn.com\/surge\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/TDS-Full-Form-Tax-Deducted-at-Source.jpg 984w, https:\/\/infinitylearn.com\/surge\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/TDS-Full-Form-Tax-Deducted-at-Source-300x170.jpg 300w, https:\/\/infinitylearn.com\/surge\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/TDS-Full-Form-Tax-Deducted-at-Source-768x436.jpg 768w, https:\/\/infinitylearn.com\/surge\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/TDS-Full-Form-Tax-Deducted-at-Source-150x85.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 984px) 100vw, 984px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_is_TDS\"><\/span>What is TDS?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>TDS is a rule where the person or company paying you for a service must cut a certain percentage of that payment as tax.<\/p>\n<p>There are two main people involved in this process:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>The Deductor:<\/strong> This is the person or company who is <em>making the payment<\/em> and cutting the tax.<\/li>\n<li><strong>The Deductee:<\/strong> This is the person who is <em>receiving the payment<\/em> after the tax is cut.

They will pay you the remaining amount, which is \u20b950,000 &#8211; \u20b95,000 = <strong>\u20b945,000<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>So, what happens to the \u20b95,000? The company will deposit this money with the government on your behalf. It gets linked to your <strong>PAN (Permanent Account Number)<\/strong>.

If everyone paid their tax only once a year, the government would have a cash crunch. TDS ensures that tax revenue comes in every month.<\/li>\n<li><strong>To Stop Tax Cheating:<\/strong> Some people might try to hide their income to avoid paying tax. TDS makes this difficult. When a company deducts tax from your payment, it creates an official record. The government now knows you earned that income, so you have to declare it in your tax return. This increases accountability.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Do Check: <a href=\"https:\/\/infinitylearn.com\/surge\/full-form\/usb-full-form\/\">USB Full Form<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"When_is_TDS_Deposited_Due_Dates\"><\/span>When is TDS Deposited?
