TDS / TCS Rate Chart FY: 2026-27

      No Comments on TDS / TCS Rate Chart FY: 2026-27

With the new Income-tax Act (applicable from FY: 2026–27), TDS / TCS provisions are consolidated into a few sections (mainly Section 393), with rates specified through tables.

Each table entry carries a specific code to be used in TDS / TCS returns, replacing the earlier section-based reporting.

While the prime section remains the same, the relevant table row and its code determine the applicable rate and reporting. The code is to be used for reporting purpose while preparing the TDS / TCS Returns.

The chart below maps the new provisions with corresponding old sections for ease of understanding. As more information and clarifications are still being progressively shared by the Income Tax Dept, we shall keep you updated on these.
