This has been deducted from my salary every month with out giving effect the rebate u/s 87 A.If the rebate is given,then the tax payable will be Nil.Is my employer's action of TDS Correct.

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.
