Hi, 

The wrong TDS is about to charged for my transaction and I like to update it before the transaction happens

Hi Brijesh,

It looks like you were able to add your PAN. Once you enter a PAN number, you will automatically get a reduced withholding tax of 1% regardless of the PAN "Pending Verification" status. There is no further action needed on your end.

What is TDS?

Hi Nirmala,

Thanks for reaching out. If you've managed to add either your PAN or Aadhaar number successfully, i.e. it was accepted and you didn't get an error message, you're good to go! No further action on the Upwork platform is necessary.

Thank you,

Hey there, 
I am a freelancer based in India, Acc to the rules, upwork needs to pay 5% TDS if the freelancer has not added a PAN ID, but only 1% if the freelancer has added PAN.

I added my PAN ID, which has also been verified, yet 5% withholding tax was deducted. Can anyone look into this?

Hey, 

For some reason, in my Tax Information section, I see PAN pending verification for the past 3 days. 

I have already added the pan cart details when I created the account but for some reason, pan card verification is still showing me pending then 3 days back I updated the pan card again but it is still showing pending.

I check from this link 

https://support.upwork.com/hc/en-us/articles/360044709894-Indian-Tax-Deducted-at-Source-TDS-or-Withh...

if I did not provide a pan cart withholding tax will be 5%.

withholding tax is deducted from my account again and again.  

I would greatly appreciate any help or advice.

Thank you.

Hi Zeeshan,

The TAX ID (PAN) status is under "Pending Verification" until we have a manual verification for PAN. Once you enter a PAN number, you will automatically get a reduced withholding tax of 1% regardless of the PAN "Pending Verification" status. There is no further action needed on your end.

Hi Abbas,

I have checked your account and it looks like your PAN is currently on a pending verification status. Please note that we cannot directly verify your tax information. Once you add the information to your Upwork account, we submit it to the Indian Tax authorities for verification. If you added your PAN number, it was accepted, and you didn't get an error message, you're all set. There is no further action needed on your end.
