11 June 2020 Respected Experts,

Liability to deduct tax at source by employer arises at the time of actual payment of salary and not at the time of accrual.

If any employee has left the job in the month of Nov-2019 and payment of his Full and Final Settlement is pending from employer up to financial year end i.e. 31.03.2020. However, employer has made provision for outstanding payments on year end.
Actual settlement of Full and Final dues happened in June-2020.

In this case please guide me, whether employer should have deduct TDS also on F&F amount and generate Form 16 accordingly for FY 2019-20.
Or
Employer should deduct TDS on F&F in FY 2020-21 i.e. on actual payment in June-2020 and accordingly issue Form-16 to its employee.

Please revert with your valuable opinion.
