Quick Summary
This discussion addresses employer responsibilities regarding employee withholding taxes following the AY 21-22 budget changes, which introduced two tax regimes. The core question is whether employers should mandate the old tax regime or allow employees to choose between the old and new options during their IT declarations. While some suggest it's the employee's decision, others point to Section 192 and CBDT circulars which clarify that employers must deduct TDS using the old method unless the employee explicitly opts for the new regime.

As per my view.,

The selection of Old or New Tax filing matter will be Assessee's own decisions. It can't be choose by employer...
Better to consider with employee and his details which is suitable for employee...


Wait on others view...

Usually, CBDT will come out with a circular determining the way to deduct taxes every year. This being an option that can be exercised at the time of filing return, CBDT will come out with a circular on the same. Till that the emplyer can deduct tds safely by following old method unless the employee mention his option to the employer otherwise

An employer has no option but has to mandatorily deduct TDS as per section 192 which prescribes only the old method of taxation even though an employee decides to go for the new tax regime.

Strange but true, this is how the law is prescribed.
