Apply for a TDS waiver in My Account

TDS or Tax Deducted at Source is a tax that gets deducted from your interest payable. Although a fixed deposit is one of the safest investment options, the interest earned on it is considered part of your income. Therefore, TDS applies to this interest amount.

However, if your total income is below the minimum tax limit, you can declare the same by submitting Form 15G/ H for a TDS waiver. If your age is below 60, you need to submit Form 15G, while if you are above 60, you need to submit Form 15H.

Once you submit this declaration, it will ensure that no TDS is deducted from the interest earned on your deposits.

Bajaj Finance Limited offers you the facility of submitting this declaration online in a few easy steps. You can submit your Form 15G/ H by visiting My Account.

TDS Meaning and TDS Full Form

TDS stands for Tax Deducted at Source, a mechanism employed in many countries, including India, to collect tax at the origin of income. Under this system, a certain percentage of the payment is deducted by the payer and remitted to the government on behalf of the payee. This ensures a continuous inflow of revenue to the government and helps in reducing tax evasion. TDS is applicable on various types of income such as salaries, interest on bank deposits, and payments to contractors. The deducted amount is then reflected in the payee's annual tax return, and the total tax liability is adjusted accordingly. This method simplifies tax collection and ensures timely compliance, providing both the taxpayer and the tax authorities with a streamlined process for managing and tracking income tax obligations.

What is a TDS Certificate?

A TDS Certificate is an official document issued by the deductor to the deductee, confirming the amount of Tax Deducted at Source (TDS) and subsequently deposited with the government. It serves as proof that the tax has been deducted and credited to the government’s account on behalf of the payee. The certificate includes details such as the deductor’s and deductee’s names, PAN numbers, the amount paid, the amount of TDS deducted, and the TDS payment challan number.

For salaried employees, Form 16 is issued, while for non-salaried individuals, Form 16A is provided. These certificates are essential for the payee while filing income tax returns as they help in claiming the deducted amount against their tax liability. They ensure transparency and accuracy in tax records, facilitating easier verification and reconciliation of tax payments for both the taxpayer and the tax authorities.
