The IT rule to deduct 10% TDS from all freelancers is nothing but stealing the bread of poor freelancers who are struggling to make their livelihood and it is not ethical.  So there is need to raise voice against such unethical rules.  It may be worth if the government make rule to deduct from those freelancers whose annual income from their professor crosses the income tax exemption limit of 2.5 lakhs per anum.  All should raise voice against such unethical rules to the government and the NASSCOM.

As far as I understand, TDS is tax deducted at source, for which employer must provide form 16 and you have to claim refund of any tax deducted from IT department at the end of financial year, which they will refund any undue tax money after assessing your annual income from all sources, investments, rebate, etc.  So why cry?
