Short deduction of tds from employee salary

This discussion addresses a common payroll error where TDS was short-deducted from employee salaries. The employer mistakenly deducted Rs 10,000 less than required. Fortunately, the employees paid the full balance amount when filing their income tax returns. The core question is whether the employer is still liable to pay the short-deducted amount again and how to resolve the default notice received from tax authorities.
