TDS on salary guides
Employers deduct tax from salary every month based on an estimate of the whole year's income and the regime each employee chooses. These guides explain how that estimate is built, how the old and new regimes compare at different salaries, and what the annual TDS certificate contains. The Income-tax Act, 2025 applies from 1 April 2026 and renumbers sections and forms, so confirm current references before filing.
