In order to support the PAN appliance, section 206AA has been placed w.e.f. April, 1, 2010. The main highlights of section 206AA are as below :
Every person whose receipts are subject of deduction of tax at source (i.e. the deductee) shall furnish his PAN to the deductor. It will be compulsory from April 1, 2010.
If such person does not furnish PAN to the deductor, the deductor will deduct tax at source at higher of the following TDS rates –
- The rate prescribed in the act;
- At the rate in force, i.e. the rate mentioned in the finance act; or
- Most of the case @ 20 %
Other Provision relating to non-furnishing of PAN w.e.f. 1-04-2010
- These provisions will also apply to non-resident where TDS is deductible on payment or credits made to them.
- In the case of payment to a transport operator, tax will not be deductible under section 194C if the transport operator furnishes his PAN to the deductor. If PAN is not furnished, the rate will be 1 per cent for an individual/HUF transporter and 2 per cent for other transporters during October 1,2009 and March 31,2010 and 20 per cent after March 31,2010.
- The provision that TDS would be deductible at the above-mentioned rates, will also apply in case where the deductee files a declaration under section 197A in Form No. 15G or 15H but he does not provide his PAN.
- No Certificate under section 197 will be granted by the Assessing Officer unless the application contains the PAN of the applicant.
