What is Form 26Q

Form 26Q is a quarterly TDS (Tax Deducted at Source) return that businesses and individuals must file when they deduct TDS on non-salary payments such as contractor payments, professional fees, rent, interest, commission, and dividends.

  • Reports TDS deducted on payments made to vendors, professionals, and businesses.
  • Helps deductees (service providers, contractors, etc.) get TDS credit in their Form 26AS.
  • Ensures tax compliance and prevents penalties for late or incorrect filing.

Even if no TDS is deducted, a NIL return must be filed.

Yes, without an LDC, your payer must deduct TDS at the standard rate, even if your tax liability is lower.

Can NRIs apply for a Lower Deduction Certificate?

Yes, NRIs and foreign companies can apply for an LDC to get reduced TDS rates under DTAA (Double Taxation Avoidance Agreement).

How long does it take to get an LDC?

It usually takes 2-6 weeks, depending on how fast the Assessing Officer (AO) processes your request.

Can I apply for an LDC every year?

Yes, if your tax liability is lower than the standard TDS rate, you can apply for a new LDC every financial year.

What happens if I don’t apply for an LDC?

      • Delayed refunds
      • Cash flow issues
