12 June 2009 Logically as per tds chapter employer needs to follow the provisions given in sec 192B. In ready reckoner of Taxmaans they have given the rate & tax amount to be deducted per month.

But employer can do so. He just needs to take care of advance tax provisions. Let say for eg. if the tax liability of employee is 50K then tax deducted in aug should be at least equal to 30% of tax liability, for nov it should be equal to 60% of tax liability less tax deducted earlier & finally in feb 100% of tax should be deducted less tax deducted earlier.

In this advance tax provision does not match then employee needs to pay the interest amount.
