The Central Board of Direct Taxes (CBDT) has issued new notifications exempting the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) from the recently introduced higher rates of Tax Deducted at Source (TDS) and Tax Collected at Source (TCS). These higher rates are applicable to individuals and entities who fail to file their income tax returns. The exemption ensures the RBI is not burdened by these stricter compliance measures.
CBDT has released two significant notifications on May 27, 2024, introducing higher rates of Tax Deducted at Source (TDS) and Tax Collected at Source (TCS) for individuals and entities failing to furnish their Income Tax Returns (ITR). These directives, detailed in Notifications No. 45 and 46/2024, mark a crucial development in the enforcement of tax compliance.
