Common Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
Answers to common questions about Lower Deduction Certificate
What is Section 197 Lower Deduction Certificate?
Section 197 allows taxpayers to apply for a certificate directing the payer to deduct TDS at a lower rate or nil rate. It is issued by the income tax officer after reviewing your estimated income and tax liability for the year.
How long does it take to get the certificate?
The income tax department typically processes Section 197 applications within 15-30 days. It is advisable to apply at the beginning of the financial year to maximize the benefit.
Can the certificate be used with multiple payers?
Yes — one Section 197 certificate can be used with multiple payers during the financial year. You simply share a copy of the certificate with each payer who deducts TDS on your payments.
What happens if my income exceeds the estimated amount?
If your actual income exceeds the estimated income in the certificate, you must pay the differential tax as advance tax to avoid interest. We monitor this for all our clients throughout the year.
