About section codes

Under the Income-tax Rules, 2026, each kind of payment has a 4-digit section code, quoted in the TDS statements: Form 138 for salary, Form 140 for other payments to residents and Form 144 for non-residents. The codes run from 1001 to 1067. Some payments have a second code where they are made in kind, for example 1034 for a business benefit or perquisite given in kind.

Certain payments by individuals and HUFs, such as rent above ₹50,000 a month, the purchase of property of ₹50 lakh or more, and contract or professional fees above ₹50 lakh, are deposited with Form 141 instead of under a section code.
