Regarding the extra salary credited in March due to the Sixth Pay Commission adjustments, it is important to consider the total taxable income for the financial year, including any additional income such as the one received in March. The TDS (Tax Deducted at Source) should be deducted based on the total income for the entire financial year.
Since TDS was already deducted and deposited in February, the accountant needs to assess whether the additional salary credited in March has pushed the total income into a higher tax bracket. If it has, additional TDS may need to be deducted to ensure that the correct amount of tax is withheld for the financial year.
