Please tell :-For the salary of an employee[NON RESIDENT] for the previous year ending 31 March 08.The employer is deducting and paying the Tax [TDS] in Dec08 and thereby issuing the TDS certificate also in Dec 08.The employee accordingly files the ITR-I [belated] on 31March 2009.

Is the employee liable to pay tax under Section 234A? whole of the tax payable on salary for previous year 31 March 08 is been deducted as  TDS. 

Or it is just the liability of Employer to pay tax and penalty for late deduction and payment of Taxes?
