Lower Deduction Certificate (LDC) Services
Avoid Excess TDS | Unlock Cash Flow | Expert LDC Assistance for NRIs, Businesses & Individuals
At LegalTax Coin, we understand how frustrating it can be when tax deducted at source (TDS) exceeds your actual tax liability. This common issue, especially in cases involving NRI property sales, loss-making businesses, or low-income individuals, results in unnecessary fund blockage and the hassle of claiming refunds later.
That’s where the Lower Deduction Certificate (LDC) under Section 197 of the Income Tax Act comes in—and we’re here to help you get it without stress.
🔍 What is a Lower Deduction Certificate (LDC)?
A Lower Deduction Certificate is a certificate issued by the Income Tax Department that allows the payer to deduct tax at a lower or NIL rate on payments made to you. It prevents the excess deduction of TDS when your actual tax liability is less than what is usually deducted.
“Why pay more tax upfront when you’re not liable for it later?”
Whether you're a non-resident selling property in India, a business with losses, or a low-income earner, obtaining an LDC ensures that TDS is deducted only to the extent necessary—protecting your cash flow and compliance.
💼 When Should You Apply for an LDC?
LDC is particularly useful in situations like:
- ❌Loss-making businesses
- 📉Carried forward losses from past years
- 💸Net income below the basic exemption limit
- 🌍Sale of property in India by an NRI
- 🏢Foreign companies receiving payments without having a PE in India
- 💼Freelancers or consultants with irregular or low income
This list is not exhaustive. If excess TDS is affecting your finances, LDC can help.
