TDS AT HIGHER RATE

If anyone's PAN is inoperative, while making any payment on which is liable to TDS, in this situation, should we consider threshold limit or not. E.g. Interest paid Rs.3000/- during the year which is below threshold limit but PAN is inoperative. In this case, should we deduct the TDS at higher rate, or not to deduct the TDS considering the threshold limit.

Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies the rules for Tax Deducted at Source (TDS) when a recipient's PAN (Permanent Account Number) is inoperative. It addresses whether the standard threshold limits for TDS apply in such cases. The consensus suggests that if a PAN is inoperative, TDS should be deducted at the higher applicable rate (often 20%), regardless of whether the payment amount falls below the usual threshold. This is to ensure compliance and avoid penalties.

TDS is applicable only it exceed threshold limit. if it exceed then deduct at higher rate
I was reporting transporter details in tds return for a value of Rs. 10000. Transporter provided declaration hence tds was 0. But the tds return was processed stating shortfall of 20%. So practically, in case of pan inoperative, then deduct tds at 20% ignoring threshold limit.
If any pan is inoperative, the pan must be submitted and a fresh pan must be applied for.
