How Much TDS Refund Can Food Delivery Partners Claim?
Food delivery companies like Swiggy and Zomato deduct 1% TDS from your total earnings before transferring your payouts. Many delivery partners are unaware that they can claim a tax refund on this deducted amount. If your total income is below the taxable limit or you are eligible for deductions, you can get back the extra tax deducted.
Example:
Rahul is a Swiggy delivery partner who earned ₹2,40,000 in a year. Swiggy deducted 1% TDS, which means ₹2,400 was deducted as tax. Since his total income is below ₹2.5 lakh, he doesn’t need to pay income tax. By filing his ITR, Rahul can claim a full refund of ₹2,400.
Amit is a Zomato delivery partner earning ₹3,50,000 per year. Zomato deducted ₹3,500 as TDS. After applying deductions like 80C (LIC, PPF, etc.), his taxable income reduces to ₹2,40,000. Since his final tax liability is zero, Amit can also claim a full refund of ₹3,500.
