Hey Vinay! Let me clear this up for you:
### 1. **TDS on Salary: Monthly or Yearly?**
* **By law, TDS on salary should be deducted and deposited every month** — that is, tax deducted on salary paid in January must be deposited by 7th February, and so on.
* This is to ensure timely tax collection and to avoid interest and penalties.
---
### 2. **Can You Pay TDS Annually?**
* **Generally, there is no option to pay TDS on salary annually.**
* TDS deduction and deposit **must be done monthly** for salaries as per Section 192.
* If you delay depositing TDS, the Income Tax Department may charge **interest and penalties**.
---
### 3. **Filing Form 16**
* **Form 16 is the TDS certificate given to the employee**, showing the salary paid and TDS deducted during the financial year.
* Form 16 is prepared **after the end of the financial year** (by 15th June following the FY).
* It summarizes all monthly TDS deductions you made throughout the year.
---
### Summary:
| Step | Details |
| ------------------------ | --------------------------------- |
| TDS deduction & payment | Monthly, before 7th of next month |
| Filing quarterly returns | Required every quarter |
| Form 16 issuance | After FY end, by 15th June |
---
### Important:
* If you want to **pay TDS on salary annually**, it’s technically not allowed.
* **Always deduct and deposit TDS monthly** to avoid penalties.
---
If you want, I can guide you through the process of filling Form 16 or filing quarterly TDS returns. Just let me know!
