TDS, TCS THRESHOLD
TDS, TCS THRESHOLD
For those above 60, the
Budget has announced a
doubling of TDS threshold
related to deposit interest.
From the current level of
₹50,000, TDS will now be applicable only if the interest
income is more than ₹1 lakh,
thus giving considerable relief to senior citizens.
For those below the age of
60, the TDS threshold has been increased by ₹10,000 to
₹50,000 from ₹40,000
currently.
The condition for this TDS
relief is that the interest income must be given by banks,
cooperative societies or post office.
Interest income from any
other entity would not enjoy
these new benefits.
Many individuals wish to
send their kids abroad for
higher education. Their remittance for funding the
overseas education is subject
to TCS. The threshold for
TCS has been increased by ₹3
lakh to ₹10 lakh from ₹7 lakh
earlier.
The TCS rate with regard
to education loan will remain
at 0.5 per cent.
