TDS and income tax: where every payment carries a tax decision.
Every vendor payment, salary, rent cheque and interest credit can carry a tax deduction at source. The right section, rate, threshold and treatment depend on who is paid, for what, and whether they have given a PAN or a lower-deduction certificate. AI agents processing payments make these decisions thousands of times a day.

What we plan to cover
| Area | Example judgment |
|---|---|
| TDS on vendor payments | Which section applies — contract, professional fees, rent, commission? |
| Rates and thresholds | Does the payment cross the threshold; what rate applies? |
| Missing PAN and special cases | Higher-rate rules; senior citizens; lower-deduction certificates |
| TDS on salaries | Computation under the chosen tax regime |
| Interest and other payments | Deduction on interest to residents and others |
| Transition to the new law | Mapping old provisions to the Income-tax Act, 2025 (the new Act applies from 1 April 2026) |
Why it's next
It shares our GST professional pool (Chartered Accountants), the same buyers (finance teams and SAP users) and the same agents (payment and invoice processing). A major change of law raises the risk that AI answers are out of date.
