An initial guide to Tax Deducted at Source (TDS) rates and thresholds for India's Financial Year 2025-26 (Assessment Year 2026-27), based on current provisions as of April 2025. Details include a comprehensive rate chart covering common sections, key considerations like PAN non-furnishing, recent threshold changes (e.g., for interest, rent, commissions), potential policy updates (like the status of Section 206AB), and essential compliance deadlines. The guide strongly emphasizes that final rates are contingent upon the Full Union Budget 2025.
