Is it Mandatory to deduct TDS as per consessional TDS rates (i.e. 25% reduced TDS rate) or we can deduct at normal rates ? (since reduced TDS may result in higher self assessment tax later)

Quick Summary
This discussion explores the mandatory nature of deducting TDS at the reduced concessional rates for FY 2020-21. While the law doesn't explicitly restrict deducting at normal, higher rates, it's advised to consider the deductee's perspective and potential implications for self-assessment tax. A case-by-case evaluation is recommended.
