I need to know the calculation steps for monthly deduction of TDS for salaried employees . Is the TDS calculated from Gross Salary or the Net salary after allowances and deductions ?

Hi,

TDS is not deducted either on Gross or on Net Salary. There are lots of considerations as below:

- Full Basic+DA is considered as Taxable Income.
- Conveyance Allowance is exempted up to 9600/- per annum.
- Medical Allowance is exempted up to 15000/- per annum.
- HRA is exempted as actuals or 40% of Basic.
- Other allowances are considered as Taxable income except washing, Food coupons, and LTA.
- After that, you should deduct PT and any other taxes on the employee.
- Later, you should calculate the deductions under Section 80 for PF, Housing Loan, Insurance, and education fees.
- Based on those, only you should deduct TDS.

I hope this helps clarify the considerations for deductions and exemptions in payroll processing. Let me know if you need further assistance or clarification.
