What is TDS?

Understanding TDS for FY 2025-26 (AY 2026-27)

Tax Deducted at Source, or TDS, is the mechanism under the Income Tax Act, 1961 by which tax is collected at the very point a payment is made — whether that is a salary, rent, interest on a bank deposit, or a contractor's invoice. If you are paying a vendor, employee, or landlord, the law may require you to deduct a percentage of that payment and deposit it with the government on their behalf.

For Financial Year 2025-26 (Assessment Year 2026-27), the Central Board of Direct Taxes (CBDT) has published the applicable TDS and TCS rates. This page presents that complete rate chart — including threshold limits, the higher rates for payees without a PAN, and all quarterly due dates for TDS/TCS payment and return filing.

Whether you are a salaried employee checking your salary TDS, a business owner processing vendor payments, or a Chartered Accountant looking up rates during a client consultation — this tool gives you accurate, up-to-date answers fast. And if you need it offline, you can download the full TDS rate chart PDF for FY 2025-26 from this page at no cost.
