TDS ON SALARY


This query is : Resolved 

Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies the application of the Section 87A rebate when calculating Tax Deducted at Source (TDS) on salary. It confirms that the rebate should be considered even if total income falls below Rs. 5 lakhs after deductions, before the rebate itself. The employer is not responsible for ensuring the employee files their tax return; this remains the employee's duty. Importantly, failing to consider the Section 87A rebate when deducting TDS is a violation, though no penalty or interest is levied on the employer in such cases.

13 February 2021 1. Is rebate u/s 87A to be considered if the total income of the employee is below Rs. 5 lakhs after considering all deductions under chapter VIA but before rebate for the purpose of deducting TDS u/s 92?
2. If rebate under the above said section is considered, will the employer have to ensure that the employee files return or whether the filing responsibility is of the employee?

14 February 2021 1 yes, rebate has to be considered.
2 Filing responsibility is of the employee employer need not ensure.

15 February 2021 Thank you Sir. Will it be a violation in case TDS has been deducted without considering Relief u/s 87A.

15 February 2021 Yes, relief has to be considered for TDS.

15 February 2021 Okay Sir. Thank you. But is any action liable on the employer like penalty, interest etc in case the same has not been considered.

15 February 2021 No action in such a case.

17 February 2021 Thank you sir. The timely information provided is appreciated.

17 February 2021 You are welcome............
