The Central Board of Direct Taxes (CBDT) has issued new guidance regarding Tax Deducted at Source (TDS) and Tax Collected at Source (TCS). If a person passed away before linking their PAN and Aadhaar, and this linkage was required to avoid higher tax rates on transactions up to 31 March 2024, the higher rates will not be applied.

FAQ :
The CBDT is clarifying that higher TDS/TCS rates under sections 206AA and 206CC will not apply if the deductee or collectee died before linking their PAN with Aadhaar.
This clarification covers transactions entered into up to 31 March 2024.
The deadline for linking PAN and Aadhaar for transactions up to 31 March 2024 was initially 31 May 2024.
If the deductee or collectee died on or before 31 May 2024, before their PAN and Aadhaar could be linked, the deductor or collector will not be liable for the higher TDS/TCS rates under sections 206AA/206CC.
No, the standard deduction or collection as mandated by other provisions of Chapter XVII-B or Chapter XVII-BB of the Income-tax Act will still be applicable.
