Taxpayers take note! The Income tax department plans to initiate a countrywide action against defaulters who have not deposited their TDS/TCS, according to officials. Based on tax deductions in FY 22-23 and FY 23-24, nearly 40,000 taxpayers are being investigated.
Budget 2025 has increased the threshold limit to deduct TDS on house rent paid by non-individuals like companies, etc. Now TDS on house rent paid has to be deducted from the rent payment if the rent payment is Rs 50,000 per month or part of a month or more. Earlier this threshold was if the rent payment exceeded Rs 2.4 lakh per annum. This threshold limit was Rs 1,80,000 until FY 2018-19. This amendment will take effect from April 1, 2025.
