3 | The 20 per cent TDS rate on repurchasing units through mutual funds or Unit Trust of India (UTI) is now being withdrawn. |
4 | The TDS rate on e-commerce operators is reduced by 90 basis points to 0.1 per cent from 1 per cent. |

6 | The Finance Minister proposed to decriminalize the delays for payment of TDS up to the due date of statement filling. |
7 | The government also plans to issue a standard operating procedure (SOP) for the TDS defaults and take steps to simplify and rationalise the compounding guidelines, in case of such a default. |
8 | The government is in the process of rolling out an amendment to Section 39, which mandates the return filing by TDS deductors every quarter. |
9 | This mandate to file TDS returns will be compulsory even if no deduction is made during the quarter. |
10 | This move will provide an enabling clause for prescribing the time limit for filing such returns. |
The withdrawal of the 20% TDS rate on mutual fund unit repurchase marks a step towards easing the tax burden for investors.
This aligns with the overall budget's focus on inclusive growth, employment generation, and infrastructure development, aimed at creating ample opportunities and fostering a resilient economy.
