As per section 197, Where a taxpayer believes that its total income justifies withholding of tax at a lower rate, it can apply to the assessing officer for a certificate of TDS at a lower rate. If the AO is satisfied that the existing and the estimated tax liability of a person justifies TDS at a lower rate, or at nil rate, the AO will issue a certificate. Once such a certificate is granted under section 197, TDS will be deducted at such lower rate.
