Tax deducted at source is one of the modes of collecting
Income-tax from the assessees in India. Such collection of
tax is effected at the source when income arises or
accrues. Hence where any specified type of income arises or

of such income to deduct a stipulated percentage of such
income by way of Income-tax and pay only the balance amount
to the recipient of such income. The tax so deducted at
source by the payer, has to be deposited in the Government
treasury to the credit of Central Govt. within the
specified time. The tax so deducted from the income of the
recipient is deemed to be payment of Income-tax by the
