  Section 194A Income Tax Act: TDS on Interest Income Section 194A provides for the deduction of tax at the source (TDS) on interest income derived from bank deposits, loans, or other non-security sources. When the interest exceeds the statutory threshold, the payer is legally required to deduct tax, which directly affects the recipient's net income. Naturally, many taxpayers question why these entries show on their Form 26AS. Understanding this rule is critical for all parties to guarantee proper reporting and regulatory compliance.  Key Takeaways Section 194A imposes a 10% TDS on non-security interest above certain thresholds.
