TDS @ 20% on salary

Your option A is correct

Dear All,

20% Provision apply for payment other than salay (in case of non availability of PAN).

If pan is not then @ 20%.

@ Sandeep: Please refer section 206AA, it overrides entire Income Tax Act.

If PAN is not furnished by the employee, the deductor will calculate the average rate of income-tax based on rates in force as provided in sec 192. If the tax so calculated is below 20%, deduction of tax will be made at the rate of 20% and in case the average rate exceeds 20%, tax is to deducted at the average rate. Education cess @ 2% and Secondary and Higher Education Cess @ 1 % is not to be deducted, in case the TDS is deducted at 20% u/s 206 A A of the Income-tax Act.

Ref :Circular 8/2010 dated 13.12.2010

Exactly it has to be higher of 20% or tax applicable as per the TDS Section or the rates that are brought in to force by the finance act.

Hello Ajay,

A Option is right But if Employee salary is 135000/ p.m then 20% is not right according to me ..!! if he doesn't quote the pan. B'coz he also come is 30% slab rate. then 20% tds deduction is not right. he is also pay more tax compare to 20% flat rate. 

Dear Ajay,

1. If after deduction, Employee is below threshold limit than tax would be zero% (In both cases PAN Number available or not).

2. If Taxaable He falls is 10%, In case no PAN number availabale, Apply 20% governed by section 206AA.

3. If Taxable Slab is 20%, Same would apply. (Section 192 or 206AA both at 20%).

4. If Taxable Slab is 30%, Apply 30% (Even He does not hold PAN).

At Last- First make it for employees to hold PAN to meet requirement of etds Return for Salary, Second for more clarity read this year circular on TDS u/s 192, Circular No. 05/2011 dated 16.08.2011, as quoted in earlier replies also, there are some clarities here like in case of Salary from more than one  employer etc.
