Did banks start charging 20% TDS already or will it happen in April? I wonder why nobody is talking about it as it simply means if you invest 1000$ in US stocks, you will pay 200$ just to gov. Even if you try to keep track of international transactions to claim deductions, it will be a mess. We were worried about markup and now this. There is no lower limit on this 20% TDS so even if you do 1rs transaction, it will have 20% TDS.

W.r.t. Keeping a record of these transactions, its much easier these days with 26AS being made highly functional.

Especially if you are trading in cryptos and other investment apps.

Isko koi pyaaz khilao 😡
Thread title needs a change. This is for outward remittances
Edit: Seems tcs applicable on online/offline debit/credit/forex card payments too (with few exceptions like Medical and education)

The Union Budget 2023 proposes a Tax Collection at Source (TCS) for foreign outward remittance under LRS (other than for Education and medical purpose) of 20% applicable from July 1, 2023. This will come into effect after the bill is passed. Before this proposal, the TCS of 5% was applicable on foreign outward remittances above INR 7 lakhs.

Looks like the main intention here is to make people file IT returns. 7L threshold is gone and if you don't file IT returns and the TCS/TDS amounts to 50K+ for the last two years then this rate becomes doubled for future transactions (20 >> 40% vs 5 >> 10 until now)
Hope other countries don't follow same for transactions to India. Pura buisness hi band karvayenge yea log ..

Udhr border pr jawaan lad rhe hain desh k liye. Tum ye 20% b nhi de skte desh k liye.

wow. daylight robbery.
This draconian law has nothing to do with it filing, it is only to hold people away from investing outside so that money remains in the country.
I have 1 lac to invest i get my 20k blocked for atleast a year but i earn less than the taxable income. Will i be compensated for the interest on 20k? Tell me the name of one developed nation which has a law like this? Again i will have only 80% and for the rest government needs it and we can get it back after a year or so. Smh
And you need to introspect for a second, why are people interested in sending/spendint money abroad so much instead of doing the same in one's own country?
