Please note that before deducting TDS, ensure
that the person whose TDS you are deducting has got his/her PAN linked with Aadhar by virtue of amendment to Rule 114AAA w.e.f. 1st April 2023. The amendment is available athttps://lunawat.com/Uploaded_Files/Attachments/F_17206.pdf
If PAN is not linked with Aadhar, deduct TDS at higher rate as per section 206AA read with Rule 114AAA(3)(iii) which could be @ 20% and TCS u/s 206CC read with Rule 114AAA(3)(iv).
The department has started creating demand for the difference.
To check the status of PAN linked with Aadhar, you may Login to TRACES at https://www.tdscpc.gov.in/app/login.xhtml and navigate to “Dashboard” to locate “PAN Verification” in the “Quick Links menu
