Private Hospital Employee Questions TDS Deduction on Non-Taxable Salary; Possible Contractual Employee Under Section 194 An individual working at a private hospital with a monthly salary of 12,000 raised a concern about TDS being deducted from their salary. Respondents advised that since the salary is below the taxable threshold of 2,50,000 per annum, TDS should not be deducted. They suggested verifying the employer's reason for deduction, as it might be due to being considered a contract employee, which incurs a 10% TDS under Section 194. The individual was advised to file an income tax return to claim a refund or have it adjusted against any tax due.
