TDS under Company emoluments is related to Finance. However, it is not mandatory for Finance if the Company policy says otherwise.

Normally, HR is fully responsible for all matters related to Employees. Therefore, automatically their role for the Data of Employees is primary. Unless HR prepares the working hours, days, or other basic data as per Employees' rules, no further calculation is possible; thus, it is their responsibility. Next comes the Salary and other perks earned by them.

After this, the Loan and other deductions are considered. Then, TDS comes into the picture. Here, Finance fills in the deductions applicable for each employee. Normally, this work is progressive. Some companies have a standard policy of monthly deductions for the first quarter, followed by a review of their salary earned and deductions allowed. Later, as the 3rd Quarter comes to an end, they need the staff details about their Investments proof that are eligible for deductions under IT Act & Rules.

In any case, once TDS is deducted as per the Salary details of the Company, their responsibility is over. If the employee makes an investment later, it will not be considered by the company, but TDS will be deducted as applicable as per SOI calculations, and a TDS Certificate is issued.

Employees will have to submit their ROI and submit IT Return to get a Refund if applicable.
