DEDUCTION U/S 87A REG

This discussion clarifies the application of Section 87A, which provides a tax rebate for individuals with taxable income below a certain threshold. The original poster, an employee with salary income below the threshold, questioned why their employer deducted TDS when they were eligible for the Section 87A rebate. While the employer declined the request to stop TDS, the advice given is that TDS is indeed not applicable in this scenario. The employee can claim a full refund of the deducted TDS when filing their Income Tax Return.
