Hi All,
I want to know how to calculate TDS on salary and whether we are supposed to deduct it monthly or when the payment to the employee exceeds the tax limit. We are paying our employees as follows: Basic 12500, H.R.A 1500, T.A 2000. The total amount paid is 16,000.00. The employee is a residential male. Are we supposed to pay ESI Contribution for the above, as the ceiling for ESI has been raised to Rs. 15,000.00 per month?
Please help me.

Hi Varma,
To deduct TDS from salary income, we have to compute total income per annum in the tax calculation sheet. TDS should be deducted in equal installments, that is per month, not per annum.
For example, an employee has to pay Rs. 12,000/- as TDS after all deductions and exemptions. We have to deduct 12,000/12 months, which is Rs. 1,000/- per month. For amounts above the ceiling, you do not need to deduct or pay ESI because his salary range is beyond the ESI bracket.

Gross per Month: Rs 16,000 x 12 = Rs 1,92,000 Gross Earnings Per Year (FY Apr-Mar)
Less Tax Exemption Limit = Rs 1,60,000
That leaves Rs 32,000 balance. Now, if you have deducted Professional Tax per month rate x 12 months, then you can claim that amount to lessen from Rs 32,000.
Plus conveyance exemption of Rs 9,600
Plus Medical Allowance exemption of Rs 15,000
I don't think TDS would come into play at a monthly salary of Rs 16,000 if the CTC is structured in the right way with proofs.

I will get my increment in the salary of June '15 w.e.f 1st April '15 along with 2 months arrears.
Arrear income will be around Rs. 15,000, and the tax implication on arrears becomes Rs. 3,000.
Can this tax of Rs. 3,000 be deducted/deposited by the employer equally in the remaining 10 months of the year, or does it have to be deducted/deposited in July '15?
