at Source from “Salaries” etc.

3.1 Every person who is responsible for paying any income chargeable under

the head “Salaries” shall deduct income-tax on the estimated income of the assessee

under the head “Salaries” for the financial year 2000-2001. The Income-tax is

required to be calculated on the basis of the rates given above and shall be deducted

on average at the time of each payment. No tax will, however, be deducted at source

in any case unless the estimated salary income including the value of perquisites,

for the financial year exceeds Rs.50,000/-. (Some typical examples of computation

of tax are given at Annexure-I).

3.2 Sub-Section (2) of Section 192 deals with situations where an individuals

is working under more than one employer or has changed from one employer to

another. It provides for deduction of tax at source by such employer (as the tax payer

may choose) from the aggregate salary of the employee who is or has been in

receipt of salary from more than one employer. The employee is now required to

furnish to the present/chosen employer details of the income under the head “Salary”

due or received from the former/other employer and also tax deducted at source

there from, in writing and duly verified by him and by the former/other employer. The

present employer will be required to deduct tax at source on the aggregate amount

of salary (including salary received from the former or other employer).

3.3 Under Sub-Section (2A) of Section 192 where the assessee, being a

Government servant or an employee in a Company, Cooperative Society, Local

Authority, University, Institution, Association or Body is entitled to the relief under

Sub-Section (1) of Section 89, he may furnish to the person responsible for making

the payment referred to in Para (3.1), such particulars in Form No.10E duly verified

by him, and thereupon the person responsible as aforesaid shall compute the relief

on the basis of such particulars and take into account in making the deduction incorporated by or under a Central, State or Provincial Act, and includes an institution

declared under Section 3 of the University Grant Commission Act, 1956 (3 of 1956),

to be University for the purpose of the Act.

3.4 Sub-Section (2B) of Section 192 enables a tax payer to furnish particulars

of income under any head other than “Salaries” and of any tax deducted at source

thereon, in the prescribed from (No.12C) vide Annexure II. Such income should not

be a loss under any such head or other then the loss under the head “Income from

House Property” for the same financial year. The person responsible for making

payment (DDO) shall take such other income and tax, if any, deducted at source

from such income, and the loss if any, under the head “Income from House Property”

into account for the purpose of computing tax deductible under Section 192 of the

Income-tax Act. It is, however, provided that this sub-section shall not in any case

have the effect of reducing the tax deductible except where the loss under the head

“Income from House Property” has been taken into account, from income under the

head “Salaries” below the amount that would be so deductible if the other income

and the tax deducted thereon had not been taken into account.

In other words, the DDO can take into account the loss from House Property

only for working out the amount of total tax to be deducted. While taking into the

account the loss from House Property, the DDO shall ensure that the assessee files

declaration in Form No.12C and encloses therewith a computation of such loss

from House Property.

3.4 (i) For the purpose of computing loss under the head ‘Income from House

Property’ in respect of a self-occupied residential house, the ceiling of deduction of

interest on borrowed capital invested in the acquisition or construction of a self-

occupied residential house has been enhanced to Rs.1,00,000/- w.e.f. assessment

year 2001-2002. However, the deduction on account of interest on loans can be

aviailed up to a limit of Rs.1,00,000, only if such loan has been taken for constructing

or acquiring the residential unit on or after 1.4.1999 and the construction or

acquisition of the residential unit out of such loan has been completed before

1.4.2003.

3.4 (ii) The essential conditions necessary for availing higher deduction of

interest are that the relevant loan must have been taken after 1.4.1999 and the

acquisition or construction of residential unit must be completed before 1.4.2003.

There is no stipulation regarding the date of commencement of construction.

Consequently, the construction of the residential unit could have commenced before

1.4.1999 but, as long as its construction/acquisition is completed before 1.4.2003,

the higher deduction would be available. Also, there is no stipulation regarding the

construction/acquisition of the residential unit being entirely financed by loan taken

after 1.4.1999. The loan taken prior to 1.4.1999 will carry deduction of interest upto

Rs.30,000 or Rs.15,000 or Rs.10,000 or Rs.5,000, as the case may be, depending

upon the year in which the loan was taken

Persons responsible for deducting tax and their duties:

4.1 Under clause (i) of Section 204 of the Act the “persons responsible for

paying” for the purpose of Section 192 means the employer himself or if the

employer is a company, the company itself including the principal officer thereof.

4.2 The tax determined as per para 7 should be deducted from the salary

u/s 192 of the Act.

4.3 Section 197 enables the tax-payer to make an application in Form No.13

to his Assessing Officer, and, if the Assessing Officer is satisfied that the total

income of the tax-payer justifies the deduction of income-tax at any lower rate or

no deduction of income-tax, he may issue an appropriate certificate to that effect

which should be taken into account by the Drawing and Disbursing Officer while

deducting tax at source. In the absence of such a certificate from the employee,

the employer should deduct income-tax on the salary payable at the normal rates:

Circular No.147 dated 28.10.1974.

4.4 According to the provisions of Section 200, any person deducting any

sum in accordance with the provisions of Section 192 shall pay, within the

prescribed time, the sum so deducted to the credit of the Central Government in

prescribed manner (vide Rule 30 of the Income-tax Rules, 1962). In the case of

deductions made by, or, on behalf of the Government, the payment has to be

made on the day of the tax-deduction itself. In other cases, the payment has to

be normally made within one week of the deduction.

4.5 If a person fails to deduct tax at source, or, after deducting, fails to pay

be liable to action in accordance with the provisions of Section 201. Sub-Section

(1A) of Section 201 lays down that such person shall be liable to pay simple

interest at eighteen per cent per annum w.e.f. 1.6.1999 on the amount of such

tax from the date on which such tax was deductible to the date on which tax is

actually paid. Section 271C lays down that if any person fails to deduct tax at

source, he shall be liable to pay, by way of penalty, a sum equal to the amount

of tax not deducted by him. Further, Section 276B lays down that if a person fails

to pay to the credit of the Central Government within the prescribed time the tax

deducted at source by him, he shall be punishable with rigorous imprisonment

for a term which shall be between 3 months and 7 years and with fine.

4.6 According to the provisions of Section 203, every person responsible for

deducting tax at source is required to furnish a certificate to the payee to the effect

that tax has been deducted and to specify therein the amount deducted and

certain other particulars. This certificate, usually called the TDS certificate, has to

be furnished within a period of one month from the end of the relevant financial

year. Even the banks deducting tax at the time of payment of pension are required

to issue such certificates. In the case of employees receiving salary income

including pension, the certificate has to be issued in Form No.16 which has been

prescribed under Board’s Notification No.S.O.148(E) dated 28.2.1991. A specimen

of the certificate is enclosed as Annexure.III. This certificate is to be issued on the

tax-deductor’s own stationery within one month from the close of the financial

year i.e. by April 30 of every year. If he fails to issue the TDS certificate to the

person concerned as required by Section 203, he will be liable to pay, by way

of penalty, under Section 272A, a sum which shall be Rs.100/- for every day

during which the failure continues.

returns etc. Detailed instructions in this regard are available in this Department’s

Circular No.497 [F.No.275/118/87-IT(B) dated 9.10.1987]. If a person fails to

comply with the provisions of Section 203A, he will be liable to pay, by way of

penalty, under Section 272BB, a sum of upto Rs.5,000/-.

4.8 According to the provisions of Section 206 of the Income-tax Act, read

with rules 36A and 37 of the Income-tax Rules, the prescribed person in the case

of every office of Government, the principal officer in the case of every company,

the prescribed person in the case of every local authority or other public body

or association, every private employer and every other person responsible for

deducting tax under Section 192, from “Salaries” shall, after the end of each
