Tax payers seeking non deduction of tax from certain
\nincomes are required to file a self declaration in Form No. 15G or Form No.15H
\nas per the provisions of Section 197A of the Income-tax Act, 1961 (\u2018the Act\u2019).

\nthe tax payer and the tax deductor, the Central Board of Direct taxes has
\nsimplified the format and procedure for self declaration of Form No.15G or 15H.
\nThe procedure for submission of the Forms by the deductor has also been
\nsimplified.<\/p>\n

Under the simplified procedure, a payee can submit the
\nself-declaration either in paper form or electronically. The deductor will not
\ndeduct tax and will allot a Unique Identification Number (UIN) to all
\nself-declarations in accordance with a well laid down procedure to be specified
\nseparately. The particulars of self-declarations will have to be furnished by
\nthe deductor along with UIN in the quarterly TDS statements. The requirement of
\nsubmitting physical copy of Form 15G and 15H by the deductor to the income-tax
\nauthorities has been dispensed with. The deductor will, however be required to
\nretain Form No.15G and 15H for seven years.<\/p>\n

\neffective from the 1^{st<\/sup> day of October,
\n2015.<\/p>\n}
