TDS u/s 192B

What comprehensive measures should a company implement when faced with a scenario where less TDS was deducted from an employee's salary based on investment declarations, followed by the employee absconding without submitting original proof of investments. What should be appropriate proactive countermeasures to mitigate such financial risks?

Quick Summary
This discussion addresses the challenges companies face when an employee absconds after declaring investments that led to lower TDS, without providing original proof. It explores solutions like shifting to the new tax regime or requiring investment proof before allowing higher deductions. The conversation also touches on proactive steps, such as contacting the employee if final disbursement hasn't occurred, and the feasibility of mandating the new tax regime for employees.

Following measures can be implemented:

1. Move to a new regime where taxpayers are not required to submit a declaration.
2. Do not allow deduction of higher amounts without proof.
 

Proactive measures.
1. if the final disbursement not yet made , call them and resolve

Thanks Sabya, thats an appropriate way where in the case is of resignation. How about Absconding. Suppose the employee takes the Salary on 1st Feb and goes absconding on 02nd feb

Hi Manish, can we make it a mandate for employees to follow New Regime? Is it correct as per the provisions?

I agree with second point.

New regime is the default one. Employees can opt for old regime, employer cannot deny this option. They can only be requested informally that they can choose their regime in ITR also.

Thanks Piyush
But nowadays that is not possible.
