Tax deducted at source is one of the modes of collecting Income-tax from the assessees. Such collection of tax is effected at the source when income arises or accrues. Hence, where any specified type of income arises or accrues to any one, the Income-tax Act enjoins on the payer of such income to deduct a stipulated percentage of such income by way of Income-tax and pay only the balance amount to the recipient of such income. The tax so deducted at source by the payer has to be deposited in the Government treasury to the credit of Central Government within the specified time. The tax so deducted from the income of the recipient is deemed to be payment of Income-tax by the recipient at the time of his assessment. The person responsible for deducting Tax at source is liable to issue a certificate to the person from whom the tax is deducted, so that the person can submit the same to Income Tax authorities.
