Salary withholding obligations: employers must deduct tax on estimated annual salary above the statutory threshold, accounting for perquisites and exemptions. Employers must deduct tax at source from salaries by computing tax on the employee's estimated annual salary at average rates and deducting monthly instalments; no deduction is required unless the estimated annual salary exceeds the statutory threshold. Estimated salary must include taxable perquisites and benefits, while statutory exemptions and specified receipts are excluded. Disbursing authorities must apply standard deductions, savings scheme deductions subject to ceilings, validate documentary proof for exemptions and use correct challans; failure to deduct or pay attracts interest, charge on assets and possible criminal liability.
