The provision of the Income Tax Act requiring an employer to deduct tax at source from salary. The deduction is projected across the financial year against the employee's regime election and verified declarations, and reported quarterly on Form 24Q.
Every month payroll re-estimates the employee's annual taxable salary, computes the year's tax, subtracts what has already been deducted, and spreads the balance over the months left. That is why the TDS line on a payslip moves through the year even when salary does not.
The figure changes most in three moments: when a mid-year joiner hands over details of salary paid by the previous employer, when proofs are verified near the end of the year and unproved declarations drop out, and in the month an arrear or bonus is paid. The deducted amount is deposited by the due date for the month and later reported on Form 24Q.
A frequent error is ignoring the previous employer's income for a joiner, which leaves both employers applying the lower slabs and the employee facing a demand on filing. HRMagix calculates TDS under Section 192 inside the payroll run and exports quarterly Form 24Q.
