Dear Astam,

You can go through below Described here

Section 260AA of income tax provides that in case of TDS deduction, if Permanent account number(PAN) not provided, TDS will be deducted at higher end, 20%. This rule is applied to every assessee having or not having salary income.

But what’s in the case when the deductee has the income below the exemption limit under income tax. If the dedcutee has not PAN number and has the income below exemption limit of income tax, will the tax be deducted at higher level?

- If the assessee furnished form 15G or 15H for the declaration that his income is below the exemption level, He needs to attach a photocopy of PAN.

- Does having a PAN number is must in india that without that card one can’t have a fixed deposit in banks.

- What income tax rules say about PAN number? Is it necessary for every individual either having any income or not.

Income tax section 139A provides that it is not necessary to have PAN card for the people whose income is below the exemption level.

In this regard Karnataka High court gives the decision that TDS can’t be deducted at higher level on the person who have not PAN number and having income below the exemption level. Honourable High court adds some points which are as under.

• Section 206AA makes it conditional for every person who wishes to have a transaction in bank/FIs including small investors/depositors (i.e., investors/depositors with income below taxable limit) to invariably have a PAN. This runs counter to section 139A according to which such persons need not have a PAN.

• Section 206AA hinders and discourages such small investors from coming forward to invest their money for secured reasons and their secured future. This is also not desirable for country's economy.

• Further section 206AA is unreasonable as it invalidates Form 15G which does not mention PAN.

• Section 206AA which overrides section 139A is discriminatory against small investors . Section 139A has withstood scrutiny of Article 14 of the Constitution for reasonableness.

Dear Karthik

How did you calculate, Annual Income is Rs. 2,40,000.00 of that individual,

As per your calculation Rs. 9,600.00 in Convayance Allowance, 15,000.00 in Medical Allowance and Rs. 2,400.00 in Professional tax. Total Exemption is Rs. 27,000.00 rest taxable amount is Rs. 13,000.00

So, It is Mandatory to deduct TDS on Rs. 13,000.00
