Now both are replaced by Form 121, simplifying TDS declaration procedures for taxpayers whose tax liability is NIL.<\/p><div class=\"trade-content-3\" style=\"margin-left: auto;margin-right: auto;text-align: center;\" id=\"trade-1406839449\"><a data-no-instant=\"1\" href=\"https:\/\/tradebrains.in\/money\/recommends\/scapia\/\" rel=\"noopener\" class=\"a2t-link\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"scapia (1)\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/tradebrains-wp.s3.ap-south-1.amazonaws.com\/money\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/scapia-1.jpg\" alt=\"scapia (1)\"  srcset=\"https:\/\/tradebrains-wp.s3.ap-south-1.amazonaws.com\/money\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/scapia-1.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/tradebrains-wp.s3.ap-south-1.amazonaws.com\/money\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/scapia-1-980x980.jpg 980w, https:\/\/tradebrains-wp.s3.ap-south-1.amazonaws.com\/money\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/scapia-1-480x480.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 0px) and (max-width: 480px) 480px, (min-width: 481px) and (max-width: 980px) 980px, (min-width: 981px) 1000px, 100vw\" width=\"350\" height=\"350\"  style=\"display: inline-block;\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>The confusion of filling the 15G form or the 15H form, was whether I\u2019m above 60 years or below 60 years. Sounds simple, but it ran deeper than just the age dilemma. Form 15G required the total estimated income for the year along with the EPF withdrawal itself, and it should be below taxable threshold but also the calculated tax on the income must be nil for the subscribers. The for 15H required only the estimated tax liability to be nil. These were slight variations in conditions that many subscribers conflated with 15G\u2019s rules.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This ambiguity caused wrong form submissions which further triggered rejections, delayed withdrawals, and in some cases resulted in TDS being deducted even when the subscriber was genuinely exempt. The new Form 121 was built to end exactly this confusion.<\/p><div class=\"trade-in-content\" style=\"margin-left: auto;margin-right: auto;text-align: center;\" id=\"trade-2861068753\"><script data-cfasync=\"false\" type=\"text\/javascript\" id=\"AdsCoreLoader101144\" src=\"https:\/\/sads.adsboosters.xyz\/fbda060f29d5b8e8c653abce4ac69b7b.js\"><\/script>\r\n\u00a0<div class=\"ads-core-ads\"><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-was-broken-in-the-previous-system\" style=\"font-size:22px\"><strong>What was Broken in the Previous System?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>1.
