TAX ON ON-CALL PAID SALARY

[Guest]

Hello everyone ,

I am a doctor currently preparing for PG entrances while doing on call duties at hospitals near hyderabad. so, I am paid for duty on call on daily basis or at the end of my duty. I do around 10 - 15 duties per month and while I take the payment the administration deducts 10% of the amount saying that it is for Income Tax purposes and they also take my PAN card number.

Now my doubts are,

1) is this practice correct

2)if it is correct should I collect any proof or form stating that I have paid Income Tax so that i can apply for returns. 3)can anyone please provide me with the relevant form names for the above situation.

thank you!!
