The TDS thresholds are:
The TDS rate is 1% for payments to an individual or HUF, and 2% for payments to any other person (e.g., company, firm).

Professional services include legal, medical, engineering, architectural, accountancy, technical consultancy, interior decoration, advertising, and other specified services. Technical services include managerial, technical, or consultancy services.
TDS on interest (other than interest on securities) is applicable if the annual interest payment by your business exceeds:

Employers are responsible for deducting TDS from an employee’s salary if their total estimated taxable salary exceeds the basic exemption limit for the relevant financial year. The basic exemption limit varies based on age and taxpayer category (e.g., for FY 2023-24, it is Rs. 3,00,000 under the new tax regime). The employer calculates the tax liability based on the applicable income tax slab rates and deducts TDS at source throughout the year.
