Supreme Court of India dismisses challenge against TDS tax system, deeming petition poorly drafted.

The Supreme Court of India has dismissed a Public Interest Litigation (PIL) challenging the Tax Deducted at Source (TDS) system under the Income Tax Act, deeming the petition "badly drafted." The PIL argued that the TDS system was arbitrary, irrational, and violated fundamental rights. The court suggested the petitioner could seek relief in the High Court. The TDS system, widely practiced globally, requires payers to deduct tax from payments and deposit it with the tax department.
