What is TDS Filing & The Transition to the 2025 Act?
Tax Deducted at Source (TDS) is a government mechanism requiring payers to deduct a specific tax percentage before releasing payments. Broadly, there is no change in withholding policy, but the new Income-tax Act, 2025 consolidates and presents all former TDS sections under a simplified tabular reference system inside Section 392 (for Salaries) and Section 393 (for Non-Salaries).
If the event of credit/payment is on or before 31st March 2026, use the 1961 Act forms. For transactions on or after 1st April 2026, use the corresponding 2025 Act forms.
| Compliance Nature | Old Form (1961 Act) | New Form (2025 Act) |
|---|---|---|
| Quarterly TDS on Salaries | Form 24Q | Form 138 |
| Quarterly TDS on Resident Non-Salaries | Form 26Q | Form 140 |
| Quarterly TDS on Non-Resident Payments | Form 27Q | Form 144 |
| One-off TDS (Property Sale, Rent, Goods Buy) | Forms 26QB/QC/QD/QE | Form 141 |
| Annual TDS Salary Certificate | Form 16 | Form 130 |
| Quarterly TDS Non-Salary Certificate | Form 16A | Form 131 |
| Application for Lower / Nil TDS | Form 13 | Form 128 |
| Declaration for No TDS (Seniors & Individuals) | Forms 15G / 15H | Form 121 |
๐ก Important Transition Rule: If the earlier of the payment event or credit entry occurred on or before 31st March 2026, the 1961 Act applies. For transactions occurring on or after 1st April 2026, the new consolidated section structure (Sections 392-395) of the 2025 Act applies.

Frequently Asked Questions
The governing law depends entirely on when the “earlier of the event of credit or payment” occurs. If a salary is credited in your books on 31st March 2026, the TDS obligation is governed by the 1961 Act. If the transaction occurs on or after 1st April 2026, the 2025 Act applies. Our systems handle this transition automatically.
Even though the TDS rates and thresholds remain identical under both Acts, citing old section references (like 194C instead of the new Section 393 equivalent) for post-April 2026 transactions will cause system-level validation failures on the government servers. We scan your drafts to prevent processing errors.
