The TDS Section 193 has been implemented over the interest on securities. Considering the individual is transferring an amount in the form of interest on securities. There has to be a particular amount of tax deducted based on the implementation of Section 193 TDS rate.

TDS on interest on securities could be categorised into two different groups. The government and the security of the company implement people in business, authority, or corporation under which that individual works.
