Per month Paying more than Rs. 50000 as house rent? If TDS is not deducted you will have to pay a penalty
Introduction:-
Have you ever felt lost in the maze of taxes, especially when you're shelling out hefty
monthly rents? Fear not! This friendly guide is here to simplify the world of
Tax Deducted at Source (TDS) for individuals paying significant rents, making
it a breeze to stay compliant and stress-free.
**Understanding
TDS in Simple Terms:**
1.
**Missing TDS on Time:**
- Imagine forgetting to deduct TDS from your
monthly rent! Not to worry, but it comes with a small penalty – 1% interest per
month. For example, if a TDS of Rs. 2,550 was missed for two months, the penalty
is Rs. 2,550 plus 1% interest for one month.
2.
**Oops, Forgot to Deposit TDS:**
- You diligently deducted TDS, but oops,
forgot to deposit it on time! That's okay, but there's a penalty of 1.5% per
month. If TDS of Rs. 2,000 isn't deposited for one month, the penalty is Rs.
2,030.
3.
**Late TDS Return Filing:**
- Late on filing your TDS return? No biggie,
but there's a daily fee of Rs. 200. Under Section 271H, there's a penalty
ranging from Rs. 10,000 to Rs. 1 lakh if you miss the deadline by a year.
**Friend's
Tip: Stay Compliant for Peace of Mind!**

**Monthly Rent Over Rs. 50,000?**

It's like a little insurance for smooth sailing in the tax sea.

you're paying over Rs. 50 lakh, deduct 5% as TDS.
