Form 13 is an application for a Certificate under Section 197/206C (9) of the Income Tax Act, allowing for lower deduction or non-deduction of TDS.
Tax planning should start at the beginning of a financial year, as it enables individuals and businesses to settle their financial affairs and take advantage of the best tax-saving opportunities. However, you can still benefit from it at any time during the year.
Various types of incomes are eligible for a Lower Tax Deduction Certificate. These include income from diverse sources such as rent, commission, interest, and capital gain on the sale of property. Any income subject to TDS can be considered for a Lower Tax Deduction Certificate.
The Lower Tax Deduction Certificate mentions its validity period. Usually, it is valid for a particular financial year or for a specified period as determined by the Assessing Officer.
You can expect the process to take 5-6 weeks. The Assessing Officer may issue a certificate within this period if satisfied with the details and documentation provided in Form 13. The certificate specifies the income eligible for a lower tax deduction.
