INCOME-TAX DEDUCTION FROM SALARIES DURING THE FINANCIAL YEAR 2013-14 UNDER SECTION 192 OF THE INCOME-TAX ACT, 1961.

Income tax deduction from salaries requires employers to compute withholding on estimated salary including perquisites and remit TDS.

Employers must deduct income tax at source under Section 192 on estimated salary income for FY 2013-14 by including taxable perquisites valued under Rule 3, allowing deductions under section 16 and Chapter VI A within statutory limits, computing tax at Finance Act, 2013 rates (age based slabs), adding surcharge and education cesses, and remitting tax monthly with provision for intra year adjustment. Employers must obtain and quote TAN and employees' PAN, issue Form 16 (Part A via TRACES; Part B manually), file quarterly Form 24Q, and comply with Form 24G procedures when tax is deposited by book entry; failure to deduct, deposit or report invokes interest, penalty and prosecution provisions.
