TDS on salaries doubt

TDS should be deducted b your friend's company . The TDS should be deducted on BASIC+D.A . The D.A amount should exclude the D.A for retirement purpose .

agreed with Mr. vikas

but point is if the co. is not deducting TDS, it will be liable to pay penalties.........

company will not be liable to pay any penalties if the assessee himself suggest the company that he doesnt have any other income due to which he doesnt fall in the tax net. the must take this in writing from assessee and inform the assesessing officer for the same as to why he is not deducting tds. in this case it safe the the time of assessing officer to assessed tax collected through tds and refund it back to the assessee

That is the duty of copmany. If company not pay it then it will be liable to pay interest and penalty.

And its auditor will also be denote it at the time of its audit
