Dear Friend,
TDS means Tax Deduction at Source, in other words, Income Tax.
According to income tax norms, every employer should deduct tax from his employees who fall into the income tax purview.
You need to understand a few points here about TDS for salaried employees. The employer has to compute the employee's tax liability during the financial year, considering all tax exemptions according to norms. One who reaches the tax bracket after all savings and exemptions will come into the tax purview, and tax has to be deducted equally every month from 1st April to 31st March (12 months).
While computing the tax liability of employees, the employer has to consider the following exemptions:
1) HRA, Conveyance (up to Rs. 9600), LTA (if applicable), Professional Tax, Medical Allowance (up to Rs. 15,000), and deductions under section VI A such as 80G, 80D, 80DD, etc., Housing Loan (interest as well as repayment, if applicable), and 80C exemptions (PF, PPF, LIC, NSC, Mutual Funds, etc.) and 80CCF (Infrastructure bonds up to Rs. 20,000), etc.
The above exemptions are provided for informational purposes only. Apart from these exemptions, there are more exemptions available that vary from employee to employee.
These kinds of queries have been posted numerous times earlier in this forum. Hence, please use the search button; I hope you will find a bunch of appropriate answers.
I wish you all the best.

If annual income crossed the below-mentioned limit of tax-exempted limit, then TDS needs to be deducted at the source of the salary of the employee. The maximum saving can be done with Rs. 80,000 to save the tax from the income.

Dear Garima,
I shall insert an Excel worksheet for Income Tax Calculation on salary for the Financial Year 2010-11 (Assessment Year 2011-12). Prior to that, I wish to explain some details to get an idea to enter the inputs.
On gross salary, the following deductions are applicable:
1) Professional Tax
2) House Rent in excess of 1/10th of salary subject to ceiling equivalent to HRA
3) Interest on Housing loan subject to ceiling Rs. 1,50,000
4) Refund on Housing loan, savings, tuition fee for 2 children, etc., altogether subject to ceiling Rs. 100,000
5) In addition, savings on infrastructure bonds up to Rs. 20,000
6) Other than the above, one lakh, 15,000 to 20,000 towards mediclaim premium, 40,000 to 60,000 towards treatment on specified diseases like Motor Neuron disease, 75,000 to 100,000 towards disability, etc., are also admissible for deduction.
Now, taxable income can be calculated as follows:
Gross salary - total deductions = Taxable income
Taxpayers can be categorized into 3 groups:
1) Non Seniors - Male
2) Non Seniors - Female
3) Senior Citizens (65 years old & above)
If the taxable income is Rs. 2,40,000, a Senior Citizen is fully exempted from paying tax. Non-Senior Female has to pay in excess of Rs. 1,90,000 & Non-Senior Male in excess of Rs. 1,60,000.
Beyond the above income, one has to pay 10% up to Rs. 5,00,000, 20% thereafter up to Rs. 8,00,000, and 30% in excess of Rs. 8,00,000. In addition, an education cess @ 3% will be charged on Total Tax.
Let me provide an example:
Gross income of a Non-Senior Male - Rs. 12,00,000
Deductions (actual): Professional Tax - 12,000, Housing loan interest - 2,00,000, Total savings/deductions - 2,50,000, Savings on Infrastructure bond - 25,000, other deductions over 1,00,000 - 50,000.
Admissible total deductions (subject to ceiling limits) - 12,000 + 150,000 + 100,000 + 20,000 + 50,000 = 332,000
Taxable income: 1,200,000 - 332,000 = 868,000
For Non-Senior Male:
Rs. 1,60,000 is exempted.
For next 340,000 (500,000 - 160,000), 340,000 x 10% = 34,000 -(1)
For next 300,000 (800,000 - 500,000), 300,000 x 20% = 60,000 -(2)
For next 68,000 (868,000 - 800,000), 68,000 x 30% = 20,400 -(3)
Tax - (1) + (2) + (3) = 114,400
Also, For Non-Senior Female Tax is 114,400 - 3,000 = 110,400
and Senior Citizens Tax is 114,400 - 8,000 = 106,400
Education Cess: 114,400 * 3% = 3,432
Total Tax: Rs. 1,17,832
See Excel Sheet. Enter gross salary and deductions/savings applicable in the green color column. Results will be shown in yellow color. The red color is used for static data.

Admissible total deductions (subject to ceiling limits) - 12,000 + 150,000 + 100,000 + 20,000 + 50,000 = 332,000

For Non-Senior Male:
Rs. 1,60,000 is exempted.

Hi Mr. Abbas,
Thank you for the detailed clarification.
That means if a person's taxable income is Rs. 6,00,000:
For Non-Senior Male:
Rs. 1,60,000 is exempted.
For 340,000 (500,000 - 160,000), 340,000 x 10% = 34,000 - (1)
For 100,000 (600,000 - 500,000), 100,000 x 20% = 20,000 - (2)
Tax - (1) + (2) = 54,000
Add Education cess 3% = 1,620
Total TDS = 55,620; hence monthly TDS = 4,625
Hope I am right, please confirm.
