Understanding TDS on Salary Under the Income Tax Act

Under the Income Tax Act, 1961, employers are required to deduct Tax Deducted at Source (TDS) from the salaries of employees whose taxable income exceeds the prescribed exemption limit.

Thereafter, the deducted tax must be deposited with the Income Tax Department within the prescribed due dates, and quarterly TDS returns must also be filed. As a result, accurate TDS deduction helps employees meet their tax obligations while ensuring compliance with statutory requirements.
