Education ceas and tds rate

Hi

Three slab rates at 5%, 20%, 30% and they are used for finding tds rates. While edu cess is 4%

Eg. 5×4/100+5 and use the same formula for 20 and 30%

This gives new slab rates 5.2%, 20.8%, 31.2%

Why like that? Its used for calculating TDS on bonus and gratuity perhaps. If bonus is 100 and tds is 100x5.2%

What is the tds section for gratuity?

Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies how education cess, at 4%, is applied to existing TDS slab rates (5%, 20%, 30%) to derive revised rates such as 5.2%, 20.8%, and 31.2%. These adjusted rates are primarily used for calculating Tax Deducted at Source (TDS) on payments like bonus and gratuity. The contributor also questions the specific TDS section applicable to gratuity payments.

Education cess must not be utilized under any circumstances.

I think a.ll tds sections on bonus and gratuity can be directly used to calculate tds.
