🚧 Are you a Labour Contractor, Electrical Contractor, Security Contractor, or Service Provider who got TDS deducted on your payments, but never filed your Income Tax Return (ITR)?

You are not alone, but here's the truth:
You are losing money that is legally yours.
The Income Tax Department holds your refund, and unless you file your ITR, you can’t get it back!

πŸ›‘ TDS Kat Gaya, Lekin ITR Nahi Bharwaya?

You may be losing β‚Ή5,000 to β‚Ή50,000 (or more) every year!
If you are a Swiggy/Zomato delivery partner, Labour contractor, Truck/Tempo driver, Transport business owner, or Freelancer, and your TDS is being deducted, but you haven’t filed your Income Tax Return (ITR) — your refund is stuck with the government!

πŸ§‘‍πŸ”§ Who Should Read This?

If you fall under any of the following, this article is for YOU:

  • βœ… Swiggy/Zomato Delivery Partner

  • βœ… Rapido / Uber / Ola Driver

  • βœ… Labour Contractor

  • βœ… Transporter (Truck / Tempo / Lorry Owner)

  • βœ… Security Contractor / Agency Owner

  • βœ… Electrical Contractor / Technician

  • βœ… Food Delivery Boy

  • βœ… Courier Partner (Dunzo, Porter, Shadowfax, etc.)

  • βœ… Housekeeping Contractor / Cleaning Agency

  • βœ… Freelancers, AMC Providers, Mechanics, Daily Wage Contractors

πŸ” Why Your TDS Is Deducted?

Clients, companies, and apps deduct TDS under these sections:

Section Type of Payment TDS Rate
194C Contract Work, Transport 1%-2%
194J Professional/Technical 10%
194H Commission (Apps/Brokers) 5%
192 Salary As per slab
194I Rent or Vehicle Lease 2%-10%

Even if your income is below β‚Ή2.5 lakh, TDS is still deducted.

πŸ“‰ Example 1: Swiggy/Zomato Delivery Boy

πŸ›΅ Mr. A delivers food for Zomato, earns β‚Ή2.2 lakh annually. Zomato deducts β‚Ή4,500 TDS under section 194C.

❌ He doesn’t file ITR.

πŸ’Έ He loses β‚Ή4,500 — even though he doesn’t need to pay tax!

πŸ“‰ Example 2: Transport Contractor (Truck Owner)

πŸš› Mr. B owns 2 trucks, earns β‚Ή6 lakh/year under Section 44AE. β‚Ή12,000 is deducted as TDS by logistics clients.

βœ… Under presumptive tax (β‚Ή7,500 per truck per month), income is only β‚Ή1.8 lakh – below taxable limit.

❌ No ITR filed = refund is lost!

⚠️ Common Reasons Why People Miss Filing ITR

  • Don’t know they’re eligible for refund
