About TDS Return

TDS (Tax Deducted at Source) is a system of tax collection introduced by the Income Tax Department of India. It ensures that tax is collected at the time of income generation rather than at a later stage, making the tax system more efficient.

In this system, a certain percentage of tax is deducted by the payer (the entity responsible for making payments) before making a payment to the recipient (the individual or business earning the income). The deducted tax is then deposited with the government by the payer on behalf of the recipient.
