Tax Year 2026-27, with the old section against every new one.

Every payment code, the section under the Income-tax Act, 2025, the corresponding section of the 1961 Act, the rate and the threshold — in one searchable table.

From 1 April 2026 the Income-tax Act, 2025 consolidates TDS on salary into section 392, all other TDS into section 393, and TCS into section 394. Challans, quarterly statements and certificates now identify the nature of payment by a four-digit payment code rather than by the legacy 194-series section number. The old section is shown against every entry below so that any figure can be traced back to the 1961 Act and checked against a source you already know.

Where PAN is not furnished — section 397(2)

Section 397(2) carries forward the position previously in section 206AA. Every person entitled to receive an amount on which tax is deductible, or paying an amount on which tax is collectible, must furnish a valid PAN. On failure, tax is deducted at the higher of the rate specified in the relevant provision, the rate or rates in force, or 5% where the deduction falls under section 393(1) Table Sl. No. 8(ii) or 8(v) (purchase of goods, and e-commerce participants) — and 20% in any other case.

For collection at source, section 397(2) (formerly 206CC) requires collection at the higher of twice the rate specified in the relevant provision or 5%, not exceeding 20%.
