No, It is not correct, Your employer should consider at least Standard Deduction of Rs. 40,000/- 

Then your total TDS should be (3580 + 4% Cess) before Rebate u/s 87A

Rs. 310/- per month (approximately)

No it is not required to deduct tds.
Your tax after rebate is nil.

I think  standered    deduction   for F.Y 2019-20  is  50000/-  ,it  has been increased  in the Finance act  2019 , please confirm 

Yes Standard deduction for financial year 2019-20 is RS.50000/ correct.
The rebate is available to a resident individual if his total income does not exceed Rs. 5,00,000. The amount of rebate shall be 100% of income-tax or Rs. 12,500, whichever is less. so in your case if income doesn't exceed 5 lacs then no need to deduct tds
Your Employer's action to deduct TDS is not correct.

He should take into consideration rebate available under 87A . TDS will then become NIL.
At the beginning of financial year the finance department issued a circular for employee to give details of tax investments.
After the details are given the concerned officer gives an estimation it may more or less in order to have a equitable deduction from the employees salary and to hv a parity.
In this case ,Meena obviously you will get a relief.
Wait till the end of the financial year.
