The Income-tax Act, 2025, mandates TDS deduction under Section 393(3) if cash withdrawals from a bank account exceed ₹1 crore in a financial year. Providing proof of filing an Income-tax Return (ITR) does not exempt account holders from this deduction. The TDS rate is 2% for regular ITR filers and 5% for non-filers on withdrawals exceeding ₹1 crore.

Under the Income-tax Act, 2025 (effective from 1 April 2026), if the aggregate cash withdrawals from a bank account exceed ₹1 crore during the financial year, is the bank mandatorily required to deduct TDS under Section 393(3)?
Further, if the account holder has filed the Income-tax Return (ITR) and provides a copy of the filed ITR to the bank as proof of being an ITR filer, is the bank still required to deduct TDS, or can TDS be waived on that basis?

Yes, the bank is mandatorily required to deduct TDS under Section 393(3) of the Income-tax Act, 2025, and providing proof of filing an ITR will not waive this deduction.
