160,000 + 272,000 = 432,000

Tax liability = 23,896/-

8,842/- TDS for A Ltd

15,054/- TDS for Ltd

I hope this is correct

Yes, Mihir -- I also have the same question. Why should A ltd deduct tax at source. ?

Or B Ltd will deduct about 8,000/- TDS, and A ltd will deduct nil.

The tax liability can be reduced by investments u/s 80.

x will be needed to report one of his employees his other salary income. in case he reports his income, the tds will be deducted by the employer to whom he has reported and he will deduct the tds on total salary.

in case he doesnt report, no tds will be deucted by company a and company b will deduct tds on rs.272000.

TDS will be deducted on the aggregate amount of salary (including salary received from the former or other employer).
.
Salary From More Than One Employer:

Section 192(2) deals with situations where an individual is working under more than one employer or has changed from one employer to another. It provides for deduction of tax at source by such employer (as the taxpayer may choose) from the aggregate salary of the employee who is or has been in receipt of salary from more than one employer. The employee is now required to furnish to the present/chosen employer details of the income under the head "Salaries" due or received from the former/other employer and also tax deducted at source therefrom, in writing and duly verified by him and by the former/other employer. The present/ chosen employer will be required to deduct tax at source on the aggregate amount of salary (including salary received from the former or other employer).

the deductor will be choosed by the employee.

The new sub-section (2) inserted in section 192 deals with situations where an individual is working under more than one employer or has changed from one employer to another. It provides for deduction of tax at source by such employer (as the taxpayer may choose) from the aggregate salary of the employee who is or has been in receipt of salary from more than one employer. The employee is now required to furnish to the present/chosen employer details of the income under the head “Salaries” due or received from the former/other employer and also tax deducted at source therefrom, in writing and duly verified by him and by the former/other employer. The present employer will be required to deduct tax at source on the aggregate amount of salary (including salary received from former or other employer).
