Entities such as governments, local authorities, corporations, and others must deduct 2% from contractors, while contractors deduct 1% from sub-contractors. A surcharge applies: 12% for non-corporate residents and 15% for domestic companies. No deduction is needed if the contract is below Rs. 10,000. Failure to comply results in penalties, interest, or imprisonment. Tax deductors must issue certificates and file annual returns.
