What is the difference between a TDS and an income tax?

Answer Posted / h.r. sreepada bhagi

TDS (Tax Deduction at Source) - It refers to deduction of
Tax at Source under a taxation Law (Income Tax, Sales Tax,
etc) from the amounts paid or payable(credited)to a service
provider, supplier or any other party in respect of any
income due or paid to them as per the provision of a
particular Act. In specific reference to Income Tax in
India, these are covered under various sections like Sec
192, 194, 195, etc.

Income is the tax payable by the assesses (Individuals,
Companies, Firms, etc) to the Central Government under the
Income Tax Act, 1961 in India. TDS can be reduced from the
taxes payable by the assessees for the relevant assessment
year. They need to receive and preserve the TDS Certificate
from those who have deducted taxes from the amounts due or
paid to them towards the income received or receivable.
