This discussion clarifies the TDS on salary deductions for the Assessment Year 2020-21, based on Section 192. It outlines the progressive tax slabs applicable to employee salaries, starting from nil up to £2,50,000. The conversation also highlights the importance of considering employee deductions, such as investments under Chapter VI-A and other income, before calculating TDS. Even if the final tax payable is nil after deductions, employers must still report employee particulars in Form 24Q for the fourth quarter if gross salary exceeds £3 lakhs.

Yes. Even if after claiming all the investments and deductions available TDS is nil such transactions needs to be reported in last QTR TDS return. As per Income Tax Act the deductions are deductible only if they are claimed by filling ITR for the respective F.Y. by the person. If no ITR is filled thinking that one overall has NIL liability towards Income Tax it will be a wrong thing to do as all investments and claims needs to be declared in ITR for claiming the benefit of the same.
