I don't think it will be considered as advance salary as per my understanding if a company does not deduct or deduct less TDS than actual it can be adjusted against the future month salary when the pay run for next month is run by the company. Tax is computed anually so there may be fluctation in the per month salary due to revision or arrears. let suppose an employee's salary get increased retrospectively from 1-April-2014 but we are in the month of Oct 2014 When you update the latest salary on the system company's payroll software will recompute the salary from 1-April-2014 and any deficiency in TDS deducted will be met out with the current month salary. For me company made a mistake by paying it on his behalf instead it can be deducted from the next month salary. You can post this query to expert section to get a professional advice.

Advance salary means the employee has withdrawn salary today that was to be received by him on a later date. So how can company create advance salary to recover TDS from the employee? The company only has to pass a JV entry in salary account.
