Quick Summary

New Section 206AB, effective from 1st July 2021, imposes higher TDS rates on specified persons who haven't filed their Income Tax Returns (ITRs) on time. If a customer has had TDS deducted under sections like 94C or 94J exceeding certain thresholds in the past two years, this section may apply. If their ITRs for those years are not filed or filed late, TDS will be deducted at a higher rate, which is twice the specified rate, twice the rate in force, or 5%, whichever is greater.

22 June 2021 Yes, provisions of section 206AB would kick in as TDS has reached the threshold limit in this case. If ITR is not filed for last 2 years (for which the due date is already over), then rates as mentioned above by CA R Seetharaman would apply.
