Tax deduction at source: revised salary withholding rules require inclusion of perquisites and compliance with prescribed exemption and remittance procedures. Employers must deduct income-tax at source from salaries by computing tax on the estimated annual salary income at the average rate and deducting the aggregate tax divided into monthly instalments, with withholding required only if the estimated annual salary exceeds the prescribed threshold. The estimate must include the value of employer-provided perquisites and certain benefits; specific rules and exemptions (including limited leave encashment on retirement, standard deduction limits and reductions for employer-provided vehicles, specified savings deductions, HRA evidentiary requirements, foreign remuneration relief, and disability deductions) govern what is included or excluded for withholding. Employers must remit withheld tax correctly using designated challans, observe rounding rules, and are subject to interest and penal consequences for failure to deduct or pay.
