The employer will have to pay such tax at the time when such tax was otherwise deductible, i.e., at the time of payment of income chargeable under the head 'salaries' to the employee. 3.3 Computation of average Income-tax : For the purpose of making the payment of tax mentioned in para 3.2 above, tax is to be determined at the average of income-tax computed on the basis of rate in force for the financial year, on the income chargeable under the head "salaries", including the value of perquisites for which tax has been paid by the employer himself. ILLUSTRATION : Suppose that the income chargeable under the head 'salary' of a male employee below sixty-five years of age for the year inclusive of all perquisites is Rs. 2,40,000, out of which, Rs. 40,000 is on account of non-monetary perquisites and the employer opts to pay the tax on such perquisites as per the provisions discussed in para 3.2 above.

In other words, the DDO can take into account any loss (negative income) only under the head "Income from house property" and no other head for working out the amount of total tax to be de....
