TDs deduction

Hi

Im newbie to CAClub and hope i'll be impressed here with CA Club.

I have few queries on TDS deduction for employees.

1. What are the deductions we can have for an employee

2. How Basic salary & other allowances can be splitted upon based on net salary.

3. How employees can claim their deductions made, if any

4. Formalities for filing returns and issuing form to employees

It would be helpfull for me if anyone could update my post with relevant answers.

Thanks in Advance

Mr.Senthil GJ

An employee also can claim deduction of interest paid to acquire/construction of a residential house.  This deduction should be claimed under the head income from house property.  If the resultant figure is negative such loss from house property can be set off against salary income.

An employee also can claim deduction u/s 80C and 80G. 

Regarding your secon question-

The splitting up of salary depends on the contract entered into by and between the employee and the empoyer.

To deduct tax at source (TDS) from the payment of an employee, his annual salary should be arrivied at  and tax is to be computed thereon. The tax payable on the estimated annual salary should be divided by 12 to arrive at monthly deduction of tax at souce (TDS) of that particular employee.

TDS returns are to be filed reqularly as provided in section u/s 206.

On completion of the financial year TDS Certificate should be issued to the employee in Form No.16.

Please note-

If you do not file the TDS returns the credit for the TDS will not be given to the employee even if  you deduct and pay tax to the credit of Central Government.  The emplyee will have to face the difficulties.
