CBDT permits Online Facility to\ncheck applicable Rate of TDS on Cash Withdrawals<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Income\nTax Department has enabled a new operational for Post offices and Banks through\nwhich they can determine the TDS applicability rates on cash withdrawal. In\nsuch situations, the cash withdrawal must be of above Rs. 1 crore in case of a\nfiler of the ITR and that of above Rs.20 lakh in case of a non-filer of Income\nTax Return(ITR). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to till date survey, more than 53,000 verification requests have been executed efficaciously in this new functionality and operation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Where and why is it available?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

This functionality has been available since 1st July 2020 as “Verification of applicability u\/s 194N”. It has also been made obtainable to the Banks through web-services so that the whole process can be linked to the Bank’s internal core banking solution and be automated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rates Applicable<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Bank\/Post Office has only to enter the PAN<\/a> of the person who is withdrawing cash according to the latest stated norms for ascertaining the applicable TDS rate. A message will be immediately displayed on the departmental utility on entering PAN.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If anyone is withdrawing cash is a non-filer of ITR, it will show: – “TDS is deductible at the ‘rate 2%’ if cash withdrawal exceeds ‘Rs. 20 lakh’ and at the rate of 5% if it exceeds Rs. 1 crore”. Also, if the person withdrawing cash is a filer of ITR, it will show it as: -“TDS is deductible at the rate of 2% if cash withdrawal exceeds Rs. 1 crore”. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Finance Act 2020 \n  <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The persons are withdrawing a considerable amount of cash according to the report stated by data on cash withdrawal by the people who have under no circumstances have filed Income Tax Returns<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

 To\nlower the threshold of cash withdrawal to Rs. 20 lakh for the applicability of\nthis TDS for non-filers, the Finance Act, 2020, w.e.f. 1st July 2020, further\namended Income-tax Act, 1961 to keep track of cash withdrawals by the non-filers.\nIt is to ensure filing of return by these persons, and restraint black money.\nIt has also mandated TDS exceeding Rs. 1 crore at a higher rate of 5% on cash\nwithdrawal by the non-filers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To dispirit cash transactions, and move towards less-cash economy, it must be noted that the Finance (No.2) Act, 2019 had implanted section 194N in the Income-tax Act, 1961, w.e.f. 1st September 2019 on cash withdrawal exceeding Rs. 1 crore from a Bank\/Post Office account\/s to provide for levy of TDS @ 2% subject to certain exceptions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
