There has been a small typographical error in the table pertaining to reduction in TDS/TCS rates in the Press Release issued on 13/05/2020. The new rate of TCS in column no. 4 w.r.t. sale of any other goods u/s 206C (1H), should be read as 0.075% instead of 0.75%.
It is further stated that there shall be no reduction in rates of TDS or TCS, where the tax is required to be deducted or collected at higher rate due to non-furnishing of PAN/Aadhaar. For example, if the tax is required to be deducted at 20% under section 206AA of the Income-tax Act due to non-furnishing of PAN/Aadhaar, it shall be deducted at the rate of 20% and not at the rate of 15%.
