Income Tax Form 13 for Lower Deduction of TDS: Section 197
To reduce the hardships faced by the taxpayers, the govt has inserted Section 197 which states that in case the total tax liability at the end of the person whose TDS is being deducted is less than the amount of TDS that is being deducted, he may file an application to the Income Tax Officer to give him a certificate for Nil/ Lower deduction of TDS.
Once such a certificate is granted under Section 197, the TDS will be deducted as per the TDS Rate stated in the Certificate.
An application for Nil/ Lower deduction of TDS is required to be filed in Form 13 to the Income Tax Officer, and the tax officer on being satisfied that lower deduction of TDS is justified shall issue a certificate for the same under Section 197.
Nil/ Lower deduction of TDS is only applicable once the Income tax officer has issued a certificate for the same in response to an application made in Form 13. This certificate is required to be submitted to the person who is deducting the TDS. This certificate is required in all cases except where payment is being made as Interest on Securities or Interest on Fixed Deposits under Section 197A. In such cases, Form 15G/ Form 15H is required to be submitted.
