3. SECTION 192 OF THE INCOME-TAX ACT, 1961: BROAD SCHEME OF TAX
DEDUCTION AT SOURCE FROM "SALARIES":
3.1 Method of Tax Calculation:
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 2012-13. The income-tax is required to be calculated on the basis of the rates given above subject to
provisions of section 206AA of the Act and shall be deducted at the time of each payment. No tax will,
however, be required to be deducted at source in any case unless the estimated salary income including
the value of perquisites, for the financial year exceeds Rs. 2,00,000/- or Rs.2,50,000/- or Rs. 5,00,000/-,
as the case may be, depending upon the age of the employee. (Some typical examples of computation of
tax are given at Annexure-I).
3.2 Payment of Tax on Non-monetary Perquisites by Employer:
An option has been given to the employer to pay the tax on non-monetary perquisites given to an
employee. The employer may, at his option, make payment of the tax on such perquisites himself
without making any TDS from the salary of the employee. The employer will have to pay such tax at the
time when such tax was otherwise deductible i.e. at the time of payment of income chargeable under the
head "salaries" to the employee.

3.3 Computation of Average Income Tax:

For the purpose of making the payment of tax mentioned in para 3.2 above, tax is to be determined at the
average of income-tax computed on the basis of rate in force for the financial year, on the income
chargeable under the head "salaries", including the value of perquisites for which tax has been paid by
the employer himself.
ILLUSTRATION:
Suppose that the income chargeable under the head "salaries" of an employee below sixty years of age
for the year inclusive of all perquisites is Rs. 4,50,000/-, out of which, Rs. 50,000/- is on account of non-
monetary perquisites and the employer opts to pay the tax on such perquisites as per the provisions
discussed in para 3.2 above.
STEPS:
Income Chargeable under the head "Salaries" inclusive of all perquisites Rs. 4,50,000/
Tax on Total Salaries(including Cess) Rs. 25,750/
Average Rate of Tax [(25,750/4,50,000) × 100] 5.72%
Tax payable on Rs.50,000/= (5.72% of 50,000) Rs. 2,861/
Amount required to be deposited each month Rs. 240 (Rs. 238.4) (=2061/12)
The tax so paid by the employer shall be deemed to be TDS made from the salary of the employee.
3.4 Salary From More Than One Employer:
Section 192(2) deals with situations where an individual 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 taxpayer 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 "Salaries" due or received from the former/other
employer and also tax deducted at source therefrom, in writing and duly verified by him and by the
former/other employer. The present/ chosen employer will be required to deduct tax at source on the
aggregate amount of salary (including salary received from the former or other employer).
3.5 Relief When Salary Paid in Arrear or Advance:
3.5.1 Under section 192(2A) where the assessee, being a Government servant or an employee in a
company, co-operative society, local authority, university, institution, association or body is entitled to
the relief under Section 89(1) 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 the same into
account in making the deduction under Para(3.1) above.
Here "University means a University established or incorporated by or under a Central, State or
Provincial Act, and includes an institution declared under section 3 of the University Grants
Commission Act, 1956(3 of 1956), to be University for the purposes of the Act.
3.5.2 With effect from 1-4-2010 (AY 2010-11), no such relief shall be granted in respect of any amount
received or receivable by an assessee on his voluntary retirement or termination of his service, in
accordance with any scheme or schemes of voluntary retirement or in the case of a public sector
company referred to in section 10(10C)(i) (read with Rule 2BA), a scheme of voluntary separation, if an
exemption in respect of any amount received or receivable on such voluntary retirement or termination
of his service or voluntary separation has been claimed by the assessee under section 10(10C) in respect
of such, or any other, assessment year.
3.6 Income under any Other head: (i) Section 192(2B) enables a taxpayer to furnish particulars of
income under any head other than "Salaries" ( not being a loss under any such head other than the loss
under the head " income from house property") received by the assessee for the same financial year and
of any tax deducted at source thereon. Form no. 12C, which was earlier prescribed for furnishing such

particulars, has since been omitted from the Rules by the Income Tax (24th amendment) Rules, 2003,
w.e.f. 1-10-2003. However, the particulars may now be furnished in a simple statement, which is
properly signed and verified by the taxpayer in the manner as prescribed under Rule 26B(2) of the Rules
and shall be annexed to the simple statement. The form of verification is reproduced as under:
I, _________ (name of the assessee), do declare that what is stated above is true to the best of my
information and belief.
(ii) Such income should not be a loss under any such head other than the loss under the head "Income
from House Property" for the same financial year. DDO shall take such other income and tax deducted
at source, if any, on such income and the loss, if any, under the head "Income from House Property" into
account for the purpose of computing tax deductible in terms of section 192(2B) of the Act. However,
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 any loss
(negative income) only under the head "income from House Property" and no other head for working out
the amount of total tax to be deducted.
(iii) Section 192(2C) lays down that a person responsible for paying any income chargeable under the
head "salaries" shall furnish to the person to whom such payment is made a statement giving correct and
complete particulars of perquisites or profits in lieu of salary provided to him and the value thereof in
Form 12BA (Annexure-II). Form 12BA along with Form 16, as issued by the employer, are required to
be produced on demand before the Assessing Officer in terms of Section 139C of the Act.
3.7 Computation of income under the head "Income from house property":
While taking into account the loss from House Property, the DDO shall ensure that the employee files
the declaration referred to above and encloses therewith a computation of such loss from House
Property. Following details shall be obtained and kept by the employer in respect of loss claimed under
the head "Income from house property" separately for each house property:
(a) Gross annual rent/value
(b) Municipal Taxes paid, if any
(c) Deduction claimed for interest paid, if any
(d) Other deductions claimed
(e) Address of the property
(f) Amount of loan, if any; and
(g) Name and address of the lender (loan provider)
3.7.1 Conditions for Claim of Deduction of Interest on Borrowed Capital for Computation of
Income From House Property Section 24(b):
Section 24(b) of the Act allows deduction from income from house property on interest on borrowed
capital as under:-
(i) the deduction is allowed only in case of house property which is owned and in the occupation of
the employee for his own residence. However, if it is not actually occupied by the employee in
view of his place of the employment being at other place, his residence in that other place should
not be in a building belonging to him.

In case of Serial No. 3 above
(a) The house so acquired or constructed should be completed within3 years from the end of the FY in
which the capital was borrowed. Hence it is necessary for the DDO to have the completion

(b) Further any prior period interest for the FYs up to the FY in which the property was acquired and
constructed shall be deducted in equal instalments for the FY in question and subsequent four FYs.
(c) The employee has to furnish before the DDO a certificate from the person to whom any interest is
payable on the borrowed capital specifying the amount of interest payable. In case a new loan is
taken to repay the earlier loan, then the certificate should also show the comprehensive picture of
Principal and Interest of the loan so repaid.
3.8 Adjustment for Excess or Shortfall of Deduction:
The provisions of Section 192(3) allow the deductor to make adjustments for any excess or shortfall in
the deduction of tax already made during the financial year, in subsequent deductions for that employee
within that financial year itself.
3.9 Salary Paid in Foreign Currency:
For the purposes of deduction of tax on salary payable in foreign currency, the value in rupees of such
salary shall be calculated at the "Telegraphic transfer buying rate" of such currency as on the date on
which tax is required to be deducted at source( see Rule 26).
4. PERSONS RESPONSIBLE FOR DEDUCTING TAX AND THEIR DUTIES:
4.1 Section 204 (i) 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. Further, as per Section 204(iv), in the case of credit, or as the case may be, if the
payment is by or on behalf of Central Government or State Government, the DDO or any other person
by whatever name called, responsible for crediting, or as the case may be, paying such sum is the
"persons responsible for paying".

If the jurisdictional TDS officer of the Taxpayer issues a certificate of No Deduction or Low Deduction
of Tax under section 197 of the Income Tax Act, subsequent to the application filed before him in Form
No 13 by the Taxpayer; then the DDO should take into account such certificate and deduct tax on the
salary payable at the rates mentioned therein. (see Rule 28AA).
4.4. Deposit of Tax Deducted:
Rule 30 prescribes time and mode of payment of tax deducted at source to the account of Central
Government.
4.4.1. Prescribed time of payment/deposit of TDS made to the credit of Central Government account is

are applicable, the amount deducted shall be electronically remitted into the Reserve Bank of India
or the State Bank of India or any authorised bank accompanied by an electronic income-tax
challan.
The amount shall be construed as electronically remitted to the Reserve Bank of India or to the State
Bank of India or to any authorized bank, if the amount is remitted by way of:
(a) internet banking facility of the Reserve Bank of India or of the State Bank of India or of any
authorized bank; or
(b) debit card (Notification No.41/2010, dated 31st May, 2010)
4.5 Interest, Fee, Penalty & Prosecution for Failure to Deposit Tax Deducted:
If a person fails to deduct the whole or any part of the tax at source, or, after deducting, fails to pay the
whole or any part of the tax to the credit of the Central Government within the prescribed time as under:

4.5.1 He shall be liable to action in accordance with the provisions of section 201. Section 201(1A) lays
down that such person shall be liable to pay simple interest
(i) at 1% for every month or part of the month on the amount of such tax from the date on which such
tax was deductible to the date on which such tax is deducted and
(ii) at one and one-half per cent for every month or part of a month on the amount of such tax from the
date on which such tax was deducted to the date on which such tax is actually paid.
Such interest, if chargeable, is mandatory in nature and has to be paid before furnishing of quarterly
statement of TDS for respective quarter.
4.5.2 Section 271C lays down that if any person fails to deduct whole or any part of tax at source or fails
to pay the whole or part of tax deducted, he shall be liable to pay, by way of penalty, a sum equal to the
amount of tax not deducted or paid by him.
4.5.3 Further, section 276B lays down that if a person fails to pay to the credit of the Central
Government within the prescribed time, as above, 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, along
fine.
4.6 Furnishing of Certificate for Tax Deducted (Section 203):
4.6.1 Section 203 requires the DDO to furnish to the employee a certificate in Form 16 detailing the
amount of TDS and certain other particulars. The Act stipulates that the Form 16 should be furnished to
the employee by 31st May after the end of the financial year in which the income was paid and tax
deducted. Even the banks deducting tax at the time of payment of pension are required to issue such
certificates. Revised Form 16 annexed to Notification dated 31-5-2010 is enclosed. The certificate in
Form 16 shall specify
(a) Valid permanent account number (PAN) of the deductee;
(b) Valid tax deduction and collection account number (TAN) of the deductor;
(c) (i) Book identification number or numbers (BIN) where deposit of tax deducted is without
production of challan in case of an office of the Government;
(ii) Challan identification number or numbers (CIN*) in case of payment through bank.
(d) Receipt numbers of all the relevant quarterly statements in case the statement referred to in clause
(i) is for tax deducted at source from income chargeable under the head "Salaries". The receipt
number of the quarterly statement is of 8 digit.
It may be noted that under the new TDS procedure, the accuracy and availability of TAN, PAN
and receipt number of TDS statement filed by the deductor will be unique identifier for granting
online credit for TDS. Hence due care should be taken in filling these particulars.
Due care should be also be taken in indicating correct CIN/ BIN in TDS certificate.
If the DDO fails to issue these certificates to the person concerned, as required by section 203, he will be
liable to pay, by way of penalty, under section 272A(2)(g), a sum which shall be Rs. 100/-for every day
during which the failure continues.
It is, however, clarified that there is no obligation to issue the TDS certificate in case tax at source is not
deductible/deducted by virtue of claims of exemptions and deductions.
4.6.2 If an assessee is employed by more than one employer during the year, each of the employers shall
issue Part A of the certificate in Form No. 16 pertaining to the period for which such assessee was
employed with each of the employers and Part B may be issued by each of the employers or the last
employer at the option of the assessee.
4.6.3 The employer may issue a duplicate certificate in Form No. 16 if the deductee has lost the original
certificate so issued and makes a request for issuance of a duplicate certificate and such duplicate
certificate is certified as duplicate by the deductor.
4.6.4. Authentication by Digital Signatures:
(i) Where a certificate is to be furnished in Form No. 16, the deductor may, at his option, use digital

signatures** to authenticate such certificates.

(ii) In case of certificates issued under clause (i), the deductor shall ensure that
(a) the conditions prescribed in para 4.6.1 above are complied with;
(b) once the certificate is digitally signed, the contents of the certificates are not amenable to
change; and
(c) the certificates have a control number and a log of such certificates is maintained by the
deductor.
Challan identification number (CIN) means the number comprising the Basic Statistical Returns (BSR)
Code of the Bank branch where the tax has been deposited, the date on which the tax has been deposited
and challan serial number given by the bank.
• The digital signature is being used to authenticate most of the e-transactions on the internet as
transmission of information using digital signature is failsafe. It saves time specially in
organisations having large number of employees where issuance of certificate of deduction of tax
with manual signature is time consuming (Circular no. 2 of 2007, dated 21-5-2007)
4.6.5. Furnishing of particulars pertaining to perquisites, etc (Section 192(2C):
4.6.5.1 As per section 192(2C), the responsibility of providing correct and complete particulars of
perquisites or profits in lieu of salary given to an employee is placed on the person responsible for
paying such income i.e., the person responsible for deducting tax at source. The form and manner of
such particulars are prescribed in Rule 26A, Form 12BA and Form 16 of the Rules. Information relating
to the nature and value of perquisites is to be provided by the employer in Form 12BA in case salary
paid or payable is above Rs.2,00,000/-. In other cases, the information would have to be provided by the
employer in Form 16 itself.
4.6.5.2 An employer, who has paid the tax on perquisites on behalf of the employee as per the provisions
discussed in paras 3.2 and 3.3 of this circular, shall furnish to the employee concerned, a certificate to
the effect that tax has been paid to the Central Government and specify the amount so paid, the rate at
which tax has been paid and certain other particulars in the amended Form 16.
4.6.5.3 The obligation cast on the employer under Section 192(2C) for furnishing a statement showing
the value of perquisites provided to the employee is a crucial responsibility of the employer, which is
expected to be discharged in accordance with law and rules of valuation framed there under. Any false
information, fabricated documentation or suppression of requisite information will entail consequences
thereof provided under the law. The certificates in Forms 16 and/or Rule 12BA specified above, shall be
furnished to the employee by 31st May of the financial year immediately following the financial year in
which the income was paid and tax deducted. If he fails to issue these certificates to the person
concerned, as required by section 192(2C), he will be liable to pay, by way of penalty, under section
272A(2)(i), a sum which shall be Rs. 100/- for every day during which the failure continues.
4.7 Mandatory Quoting of PAN and TAN:
4.7.1 Section 203A of the Act makes it obligatory for all persons responsible for deducting tax at source
to obtain and quote the Tax-deduction Account No (TAN) in the challans, TDS- certificates, statements
and other documents. 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 ten thousand
rupees. Similarly, as per Section 139A(5B), it is obligatory for persons deducting tax at source to quote
PAN of the persons from whose income-tax has been deducted in the statement furnished u/s 192(2C),
certificates furnished u/s 203 and all returns prepared and delivered as per the provisions of section 200
(3) of the Act.
4.7.2 All tax deductors are required to file the TDS returns in Form No.24Q (for tax deducted from
salaries). As the requirement of filing TDS/TCS certificates, by the employee along with the return of
income, has been done away with, the lack of PAN of deductees is creating difficulties in giving credit
for the tax deducted. Tax deductors and tax collectors are, therefore, advised to quote correct PAN
details of all deductees in the TDS returns for salaries in Form 24Q. Taxpayers liable to TDS are also

advised to furnish their correct PAN with their deductors. It may be noted that non-furnishing of PAN by
the deductee (employee) to the deductor (employer) will result in deduction of TDS at higher rates u/s
206AA of the Act mentioned in para 4.8 below.
4.8 Compulsory Requirement to furnish PAN by employee (Section 206AA):
4.8.1 Section 206AA in the Act makes furnishing of PAN by the employee compulsory in case of receipt
of any sum or income or amount, on which tax is deductible. If employee (deductee) fails to furnish
his/her PAN to the deductor, the deductor has been made responsible to make TDS at higher of the
following rates:
(i) at the rate specified in the relevant provision of this Act; or
(ii) at the rate or rates in force; or
(iii) at the rate of twenty per cent.
The deductor has to determine the tax amount in all the three conditions and apply the higher rate of
TDS. However, where the income of the employee computed for TDS u/s 192 is below taxable limit, no
tax will be deducted. But where the income of the employee computed for TDS u/s 192 is above taxable
limit, the deductor will calculate the average rate of income-tax based on rates in force as provided in
sec 192. If the tax so calculated is below 20%, deduction of tax will be made at the rate of 20% and in
case the average rate exceeds 20%, tax is to be deducted at the average rate. Education cess @ 2% and
Secondary and Higher Education Cess @ 1% is not to be deducted, in case the TDS is deducted at 20%

from the Securities Transaction Tax on all purchases and sales of equities and derivatives. The NPS trust
will also receive income without tax deduction at source. The above amendments are retrospectively
effective from 1-4-2009 (AY 2009-10) onwards.
4.12. Matters pertaining to the TDS made in case of Non-Resident:
4.12.1 Where Non-Residents are deputed to work in India and taxes are borne by the employer, if any

refund becomes due to the employee after he has already left India and has no bank account in India by
the time the assessment orders are passed, the refund can be issued to the employer as the tax has been
borne by it [Circular No. 707, dated 11-7-1995].
4.12.2 In respect of non-residents, the salary paid for services rendered in India shall be regarded as
income earned in India. It has been specifically provided in the Act that any salary payable for rest
period or leave period which is both preceded or succeeded by service in India and forms part of the

5. Computation of Income Under the Head "Salaries"
5.1 Income chargeable under the head "Salaries":
(1) The following income shall be chargeable to income-tax under the head "Salaries" :
(a) any salary due from an employer or a former employer to an assessee in the previous year, whether

(b) any salary paid or allowed to him in the previous year by or on behalf of an employer or a former
employer though not due or before it became due to him.

income of any person for any previous year it shall not be included again in the total income of the
person when the salary becomes due.
Any salary, bonus, commission or remuneration, by whatever name called, due to, or received by, a
partner of a firm from the firm shall not be regarded as "Salary".
5.2 Definition of "Salary", "perquisite" and "profit in lieu of salary" (Section 17):
5.2.1 "Salary" includes:-
i. wages, fees, commissions, perquisites, profits in lieu of, or, in addition to salary, advance of salary,
annuity or pension, gratuity, payments in respect of encashment of leave etc.

employee participating in a recognized provident fund as consists of { Rule 6 of Part A of the
Fourth Schedule of the Act}:

provident fund in excess of 12% of the salary of the employee,
(b) Interest credited on the balance to the credit of the employee in so far as it is allowed at a

dated 22-12-2003 (enclosed as Annexure) referred to in section 80CCD (para 5.4(C) of this
Circular) shall also be included in the salary income.
It may be noted that, since salary includes pensions and tax at source would have to be deducted from
pension also, if otherwise called for. However, no tax is required to be deducted from the commuted
portion of pension to the extent exempt under section 10 (10A).
Family Pension is chargeable to tax under head 'income from other sources' and not under the head
'salary'. Therefore, provisions of section 192 of the Act are not applicable.

5.2.2A.1 Non-Monetary perquisites: Non-monetary benefits are those that are not provided by way of
monetary payments to the employees
I. Residential Accommodation provided by the employer:-
"Accommodation" includes a house, flat, farm house, hotel accommodation, motel, service apartment,
guest house, a caravan, mobile home, ship etc.
A. Valuation of the perquisite of rent free unfurnished accommodation, all employees are divided into
two categories:
(i) For employees of the Central and State Governments the value of perquisite shall be equal to the
licence fee charged for such accommodation as reduced by the rent actually paid by the employee.
(ii) For all others, i.e., those salaried taxpayers not in employment of the Central Government and the

State Government, the valuation of perquisite in respect of accommodation would be at prescribed

rates, as discussed below:
(a) Where the accommodation provided to the employee is owned by the employer:
Sl No . Cities having population as per the 2001 census Perquisite
1 Exceeds 25 lakh 15% of salary
2 Exceeds 10 lakhs but does not exceed 25 lakhs 10% of salary
3 For other places 7.5 % of salary
(b) Where the accommodation so provided is taken on lease/ rent by the employer:
The prescribed rate is 15% of the salary or the actual amount of lease rental payable by the employer,
whichever is lower, as reduced by any amount of rent paid by the employee. Meaning of 'Salary 'for the
purpose of calculation of perquisite in respect of Residential Accommodation :
a. Basic Salary;
b. Dearness Allowance, if terms of employment so provide ;
c. Bonus ;
d. Commission ;
e. Fees ;
f. All other taxable allowances (excluding the portion not taxable ); and
g. Any monetary payment which is chargeable to tax (by whatever name called).
Further, Salary should be calculated on 'accrual' basis. Advance salary shall not be taken into
consideration for this purpose. Salary from all employers shall be taken into consideration in respect of
the period during which an accommodation is provided. Where on account of the transfer of an
employee from one place to another, he is provided with accommodation at the new place of posting
while retaining the accommodation at the other place, the value of perquisite shall be determined with
reference to only one such accommodation which has the lower value for a period not exceeding 90 days
and thereafter the value of perquisite shall be charged for both such accommodation.
B Valuation of the perquisite of furnished accommodation, the value of perquisite as determined by the
above method (in A) shall be increased by-
(i) 10%o of the cost of furniture, appliances and equipments, or
(ii) where the furniture, appliances and equipments have been taken on hire, by the amount of actual
hire charges payable as reduced by any charges paid by the employee himself.
It is added that where the accommodation is provided by the Central Government or any State
Government to an employee who is serving on deputation with anybody or undertaking under the
control of such Government,-
(i) the employer of such an employee shall be deemed to be that body or undertaking where the
employee is serving on deputation; and
(ii) the value of perquisite of such an accommodation shall be the amount calculated in accordance
with Table in (ii)(a) above, as if the accommodation is owned by the employer.
C. Furnished Accommodation in a Hotel: The value of perquisite shall be determined on the basis of
lower of the following two:
1. 24% of salary paid or payable in respect of period during which the accommodation is provided.
2. Actual charges paid or payable by the employer to such hotel.
for the period during which such accommodation is provided as reduced by any rent actually paid or
payable by the employee.
However, nothing in C shall be taxable if following two conditions are satisfied :
1. The hotel accommodation is provided for total period not exceeding in aggregate 15 days in a

previous year.
2. Such accommodation is provided on an employee's transfer from one place to another place.
It may be clarified that while services provided as an integral part of the accommodation, need not be
valued separately as perquisite, any other services over and above that for which the employer makes
payment or reimburses the employee shall be valued as a perquisite as per the residual clause. In other
words, composite tariff for accommodation will be valued as per the Rules and any other charges for
other facilities provided by the hotel will be separately valued under the residual clause.
D. If on account of an employee's transfer from one place to another, the employee is provided with
accommodation at the new place of posting while retaining the accommodation at the other place, the
value of perquisite shall be determined with reference to only one such accommodation which has the
lower value as per the table prescribed in Rule 3 of the Rules, for a period up to 90 days. However, after
that the value of perquisite shall be charged for both accommodations as prescribed.
E. However, the value of any accommodation provided to an employee working at a mining site or an
on-shore oil exploration site or a project execution site or a dam site or a power generation site or an off-
shore site will not be treated as a perquisite if:
(i) such accommodation should either be located in a "remote area" or
(ii) where it is not located in a "remote area", the accommodation should be of a temporary nature
having plinth area of not more than 800 square feet and should not be located within 8 kilometers
of the local limits of any municipality or cantonment board.
A project execution site here means a site of project up to the stage of its commissioning. A "remote
area" means an area located at least 40 kilometers away from a town having a population not exceeding
20,000 as per the latest published all-India census.
II Personal attendants etc.: The value of free service of all personal attendants including a sweeper,
gardener and a watchman is to be taken at actual cost to the employer. Where the attendant is provided at
the residence of the employee, full cost will be taxed as perquisite in the hands of the employee
irrespective of the degree of personal service rendered to him. Any amount paid by the employee for
such facilities or services shall be reduced from the above amount.
III Gas, electricity & water: Value of perquisite shall be determined at the amount paid or payable by
the employer as reduced by the amount recovered if any, from the employee. It is taxable in the hands of
all employees (whether specified or not) provided that the Water supply or electric connection is in the
name of the employee and expenses are reimbursed by the employer. If, however, the Water supply or
electric connection is in the name of the employer and the expenses are borne by the employer,
perquisite is taxable only in the hands of specified employees.
Meaning of' Specified Employee' :
1. Director Employee.
2. An employee having substantial interest (Beneficial owner of equity shares carrying 20% or more
voting power).
3. An employee whose income chargeable under the head 'Salaries' (exclusive of the value of all
benefits or amenities not provided by way of monetary payments) exceeds Rs.50,000/-.
Where the supply is made from the employer's own resources, the manufacturing cost per unit incurred
by the employer would be taken for the valuation of perquisite. Any amount paid by the employee for
such facilities or services shall be reduced from the above amount.
IV Free or concessional education: Perquisite on account of free or concessional education shall be
valued in a manner assuming that such expenses are borne by the employee, and would cover cases
where an employer is running, maintaining or directly or indirectly financing the educational institution.
Any amount paid by the employee for such facilities or services shall be reduced from the above
amount. However, where such educational institution itself is maintained and owned by the employer or
where such free educational facilities are provided in any institution by reason of his being in
employment of that employer, the value of the perquisite to the employee shall be determined with

reference to the cost of such education in a similar institution in or near the locality if the cost of such
education or such benefit per child exceeds Rs.1000/- p.m.
V Interest free or concessional loans: It is common practice, particularly in financial institutions, to
provide interest free or concessional loans to employees or any member of his household. The value of
perquisite arising from such loans would be the excess of interest payable at prescribed interest rate over
interest, if any, actually paid by the employee or any member of his household. The prescribed interest
rate would now be the rate charged per annum by the State Bank of India as on the 1st day of the
relevant financial year in respect of loans of same type and for the same purpose advanced by it to the
general public. Perquisite value would be calculated on the basis of the maximum outstanding monthly
balance method. For valuing perquisites under this rule, any other method of calculation and adjustment
otherwise adopted by the employer shall not be relevant.
However, small loans up to Rs. 20,000/- in the aggregate are exempt. Loans for medical treatment
specified in Rule 3A are also exempt, provided the amount of loan for medical reimbursement is not
reimbursed under any medical insurance scheme. Where any medical insurance reimbursement is
received, the perquisite value at the prescribed rate shall be charged from the date of reimbursement on
the amount reimbursed, but not repaid against the outstanding loan taken specifically for this purpose.
VI Use of assets: It is common practice for an asset owned by the employer to be used by the employee
or any member of his household. This perquisite is to be charged at the rate of 10% of the original cost
of the asset as reduced by any charges recovered from the employee for such use. However, the use of
Computers and Laptops would not give rise to any perquisite.
VII Transfer of assets: Often an employee or member of his household benefits from the transfer of
movable asset (not being shares or securities) at no cost or at a cost less than its market value from the
employer. The difference between the original cost of the movable asset (not being shares or securities)
and the sum, if any, paid by the employee, shall be taken as the value of perquisite. In case of a movable
asset, which has already been put to use, the original cost shall be reduced by a sum of 10% of such
original cost for every completed year of use of the asset. Owing to a higher degree of obsolescence, in
case of computers and electronic gadgets, however, the value of perquisite shall be worked out by
reducing 50% of the actual cost by the reducing balance method for each completed year of use.
Electronic gadgets in this case means data storage and handling devices like computer, digital diaries
and printers. They do not include household appliance (i.e. white goods) like washing machines,
microwave ovens, mixers, hot plates, ovens etc. Similarly, in case of cars, the value of perquisite shall be
worked out by reducing 20% of its actual cost by the reducing balance method for each completed year
of use.

vouchers which are not transferable and usable only at eating joints

purposes. Conveyance allowance to the extent of Rs 800/- p.m. or Rs. 1600 p.m (for a blind person) is
allowable to all employees other than those claiming Vehicle reimbursement to meet the expenditure for

way of bonus on such policy other than:

(9) Under Section 10(13A) of Act any special allowance specifically granted to an assessee by his

prescribed, having regard to the area or place in which such accommodation is situated and other

relevant considerations. According to Rule 2A of the Rules, the quantum of exemption allowable on
account of grant of special allowance to meet expenditure on payment of rent shall be:
(a) The actual amount of such allowance received by the assessee in respect of the relevant period; or
(b) The actual expenditure incurred in payment of rent in excess of 1/10 of the salary due for the
relevant period; or

excludes all other allowances and perquisites.
It has to be noted that only the expenditure actually incurred on payment of rent in respect of residential
accommodation occupied by the assessee subject to the limits laid down in Rule 2A, qualifies for
exemption from income-tax. Thus, house rent allowance granted to an employee who is residing in a
house/flat owned by him is not exempt from income-tax. The disbursing authorities should satisfy
themselves in this regard by insisting on production of evidence of actual payment of rent before
excluding the House Rent Allowance or any portion thereof from the total income of the employee.
Though incurring actual expenditure on payment of rent is a pre-requisite for claiming deduction under
section 10(13A), it has been decided as an administrative measure that salaried employees drawing
house rent allowance up to Rs. 3000/- per month will be exempted from production of rent receipt. It
may, however, be noted that this concession is only for the purpose of tax-deduction at source, and, in
the regular assessment of the employee, the Assessing Officer will be free to make such enquiry as he
deems fit for the purpose of satisfying himself that the employee has incurred actual expenditure on
payment of rent.
Further if annual rent paid by the employee exceeds Rs. 2,00,000 per annum, it is mandatory for the
employee to report PAN of the landlord to the employer. In case the landlord does not have a PAN, a
declaration to this effect from the landlord along with the name and address of the landlord should be
filed by the employee.
(10) Section 10(14) provides for exemption of the following allowances :-
(i) Any special allowance or benefit granted to an employee to meet the expenses incurred in the
performance of his duties as prescribed under Rule 2BB subject to the extent to which such
expenses are actually incurred for that purpose.
(ii) Any allowance granted to an employee either to meet his personal expenses at the place of his
posting or at the place he ordinarily resides or to compensate him for the increased cost of living,
which may be prescribed and to the extent as may be prescribed.
However, the allowance referred to in (ii) above should not be in the nature of a personal allowance
granted to the assessee to remunerate or compensate him for performing duties of a special nature
relating to his office or employment unless such allowance is related to his place of posting or residence.
The CBDT has prescribed guidelines for the purpose of Section 10(14) (i) / (ii) vide notification No.

Government has notified a scheme called Deposit Scheme for Retiring Government Employees, 1989

for the purpose of the said clause.

(12) Any scholarship granted to meet the cost of education is not to be included in total income as per of
section 10( 16) of the Act.
(13) Section 10(18) provides for exemption of any income by way of pension received by an individual
who has been in the service of the Central Government or State Government and has been awarded
"Param Vir Chakra" or "Maha Vir Chakra" or "Vir Chakra" or such other gallantry award as may be
specifically notified by the Central Government or family pension received by any member of the family
of such individual [Notifications No. S.O. 1948(E) dated 24-11-2000 and 81(E), dated 29-1-2001, which

10(5) of the Act.

veracity of the claim.

(d) reimbursement, by the employer, of the amount spent by an employee in obtaining medical
treatment for himself or any member of his family from any doctor, not exceeding in the aggregate

(e) As regards medical treatment abroad, the actual expenditure on stay and treatment abroad of the
employee or any member of his family, or, on stay abroad of one attendant who accompanies the
patient, in connection with such treatment, will be excluded from perquisites to the extent
permitted by the Reserve Bank of India. It may be noted that the expenditure incurred on travel
abroad by the patient/attendant, shall be excluded from perquisites only if the employee's gross
total income, as computed before including the said expenditure, does not exceed Rs. 2 lakhs.
For the purpose of availing exemption on expenditure incurred on medical treatment, "hospital" includes
a dispensary or clinic or nursing home, and "family" in relation to an individual means the spouse and

such cases, install JRE and try again. If appropriate version of JRE is installed, then the 'Form 24G
Preparation Utility' will be displayed.
15. What are the steps to download and install Form 24G Preparation Utility?
For assistance in downloading and using Form 24G Preparation Utility, please read the instructions
provided in 'Help' in the Form 24G Preparation Utility. This utility can be used for preparation of Form
24G with up to 75,000 records. Form 24G Preparation Utility (version 1.2) should be used for regular
and correction statements.
16. What is File Validation Utility (FVU)?
The AO should pass the Form 24G (Regular/Correction) file generated using Preparation Utility through

the File Validation Utility (FVU) to ensure format level accuracy of the file. This utility is also freely
downloadable from TIN website. In case the Form 24G contains any errors, the AO should rectify the
same. After rectifying the errors, user should pass the rectified Form 24G through the FVU. This process
should be continued till an error-free Form 24G is generated. Form 24G (regular/correction) prepared
from F.Y. 2005-06 onwards can be validated using this utility.
The Form 24G FVU is a Java based utility. JRE (Java Run-time Environment) [versions: SUN JRE:
1.4.2_02 or 1.4.2_03 or 1.4.2_04 or IBM JRE: 1.4.1.0] should be installed on the computer where the
Form 24G FVU is being installed. JRE is freely downloadable from http://java.sun.com and http:// www.
ibm. com/ developerworks/ iava/ idk or you can request your computer vendor (hardware) to install the
same for you.
The Form 24G FVU setup comprises of two files, namely-
• Form 24G FVU.bat: This is a setup program for installation of FVU.
• Form 24G_FVU_STANDALONE.jar: This is the FVU program file.
These files are in an executable zip file (Form24GFVU.exe) (version 1.2). These files are required for
installing the Form 24G FVU.
Instructions for extracting and setup are given in:
• Form 24G FVU Extract and Setup
17. After preparation of Form No. 24G statement through RPU, three files are generated when
such statement passes through FVU. Is the AO required to take all three files in CD /PAN drive to
TIN-FC?
Whena valid file is passed through the FVU, the following three files are generated:-
(a) The upload file
(b) Form 24G statement Statistics Report and
(c) Form 24G.
Every Form 24G (upload file) mentioned at Sr. No. (a) is to be saved in CD and the same should be
accompanied with the Statement Statistic Report mentioned at Sr. No. (b), in paper form duly signed by
the Accounts Officer, which needs to be submitted at TIN-FCs.
Form 24G: Form 24G, at serial number (c) above, is a reader friendly format of TDS/TCS Book
Adjustment form. This is like the physical form of Form 24G in html format. It contains all the details of
Accounts Officer as well as Drawing and Disbursement Officer. There is no need to submit this file.
18. Can the Form 24G Statement be corrected?
Every Form 24G is to be prepared in accordance with the data structure prescribed by the Income Tax
Department (ITD). If it does not confirm to the new data structure it will be rejected by TIN.
As per procedure, statements relating to Form 24G should be complete and correct. No fragmented
statements are expected to be filed (i.e. separate statements giving details for deductions under different
form type with respect to the same AIN, FY and month). However, any mistake made in an original
accepted statement can be rectified by submitting a 'correction statement'. For correction, the latest
version of the RPU should be downloaded from TIN website.
Form 24G corrections can also be uploaded directly at the TIN website. For direct upload at TIN Central
system, AO has to first register AIN at TIN website and upload the Form 24G correction.
19. What are the different kinds of correction statements allowed?
There are two different types of correction statements that can be furnished by the AO. These are listed
below.
• M (Modify) -: For any modification in the existing Form 24G statement.
• X (Cancel) -: For cancellation of an existing Form 24G statement.
For preparation of correction statement, the receipt number of the original statement and receipt number
of the previous statement is mandatory.

In case of first correction, PRN of original statement should be provided in field "Receipt number of
Original Statement" and also in the field "Receipt number of Previous Statement ".
In case a correction statement has already been filed earlier, PRN of original statement should be
provided in field "Receipt number of Original Statement" and PRN of last correction to be mentioned in
field "Receipt number of Previous Statement".
20. What is M -Type of Correction Statement?
This type of correction statement is to be furnished by AO, if it wishes to update any of its details like its
name, address, Responsible person details, category, Ministry, State or deletion and addition of DDO
(Drawing & Disbursing Officer) etc. Modifications in AIN (Account office Identification Number),
Financial Year and Month are not allowed.
There are three modes by which changes can be made in the DDO details provided in original Form 24G
statement:
• Add: DDO records can be added to the original Form 24G statement
• Update: details of DDO (i.e. TAN, TAN Name, demographic and contact details, amount of tax
deducted and remitted, nature of deduction) can be updated for the DDO records provided in
original or subsequent correction statement
• Delete: DDO records provided in original Form 24G or subsequent correction statement can be
deleted
M-type correction statement will always contain AO details and details of DDO which are added and/or
deleted.
21. What is X-Type of Correction Statement?
This type of correction statement is to be furnished by AO if it wishes to cancel an existing Form 24G
statement. Filing of Correction type X will allow AOs to file regular Form 24G for the same primary key
(AIN, Financial year and Month). This type of correction is to be filed only if the Form 24G has been
filed with wrong AIN or,F.Y. or Month.
22. What is BIN?
BIN stands for "Book Identification Number" for each form type mentioned in the accepted monthly
form No. 24G. BIN consists of the following:
(i) Receipt Number: Receipt number is a seven digit unique number generated on successful
acceptance of Form 24G.
(ii) DDO Serial Number: It is a five digit unique number generated for every DDO transaction reported
in Form 24G statement.
(iii) Transfer Voucher Date: It is the last date of month for which Form 24G statement is filed.
BIN is required to be disseminated to the respective DDOs who in turn are required to report the same in
the TDS/TCS Statement. The quoting of BIN has been made mandatory w.e.f 1 February, 2012. BIN is a
unique number to verify the claim of TDS deposited without production of challan. As it is a verification
key, it is advised that valid BIN disseminated by AO to the respective DDO should be correctly filled in
TDS statement.
23. When is BIN generated?
On processing of accepted Form 24G statement, BIN is generated for each DDO record (with valid
TAN) present in Form 24G statement. BIN are generated at TIN Central System and intimated to the
PAOs with details of TAN and Form Type. DDOs can also download the same from TIN portal after
TAN registration with TIN portal for online view.
24. What do the PAO and DDO have to do with the BIN?
PAOs have to disseminate the BINS to respective DDOs. While preparing the quarterly TDS/TCS
statement, DDO has to quote the said BIN details, if tax has been paid through transfer voucher (book
adjustment).
BINs generated for a particular 24G are mailed to the AO on the e-mail id provided in Form 24G. In

addition, AO may also download the BIN details through AO login at TIN site. The DDOs can obtain
the respective BIN either from PAO directly or can download from the TIN website www.tin-nsdl.com
through the TAN account. Detailed procedure for registration of TAN on the TIN website and download
of BIN is available on the TIN website as referred to above.
25. Under what circumstances will BIN be generated?
• BIN will be generated for valid TAN-DDO records added in Form 24G correction statement
• BIN will be generated for DDO records where invalid TANs/TAN not present in Income Tax
Department database is updated with a valid TAN.
• New BIN will not be generated for any update made in TAN name, demographic and contact
details, amount of Tax deducted and remitted or nature of deduction.
• BIN details will not be generated for deleted DDO records.
26. What is the utility of BIN?
The BIN details and amount of TDS reported in the quarterly TDS/TCS Statement filed by the DDO will
be matched with the respective details filed in Form No.24G filed by the PAO at TIN Central System for
accepting TDS/TCS Statement and for verification purpose.
27. Are there instances where BIN details and amount of TDS reported in TDS/TCS statements do
not match with that reported in Form 24G? What are the consequences of such mismatch?
(i) Instances of wrong/incorrect reporting of BIN by the DDOs in the TDS/TCS Statement have been
observed. Reporting of incorrect BINs and corresponding amount in TDS statement will lead to
mismatch with the respective amount as reported in the Form No. 24G. In this situation, the
corresponding deductees may not get credit of the TDS/TCS. Therefore, the BIN as disseminated
by the respective PAO should be reported correctly along with the corresponding amount in the
TDS/TCS Statement filed by the DDOs.
(ii) In a number of cases, one distinct DDO has been found to be reported by more than one AO in the
Form No. 24G for the same form type of TDS statement which is not a valid scenario. The DDOs
and respective AOs are advised to reconcile the issue and one DDO should be mapped to one AO
only for a particular form type for a particular month.
28. What are the duties of PAOs/DTOs/CDDOs?
i. To apply for AIN with jurisdictional TDS office. AIN application can be downloaded from TIN
site.
ii. To obtain correct TAN from the reporting DDOs.
iii. To file Form No. 24G (in CD, DVD, Pen Drive), within 10 days from the end of the month,
electronically either at TIN-FC or by direct online upload at TIN website.
iv. To track status of the filed Form No. 24G through TFN website.
v. To download Book Identification Number (BIN) generated on the basis of 24G statement.
vi. To disseminate BIN to the respective DDOs.
29. What are the duties of DDOs?
i. To provide correct TAN to their PAOs/DTOs/CDDOs to whom the DDO/Deductor reports the tax
so deducted & who is responsible for crediting such sum to the credit of the Central Government.
ii. To report to PAOs/DTOs/CDDOs, the details of tax deducted and credited to the Central
Government account through book adjustment.
iii. To quote BIN in the quarterly TDS/TCS Statement (24Q, 26Q, etc) for the tax deducted and
credited through book adjustment.
30. What are the consequences of non-quoting of BIN details in quarterly TDS/TCS statement?
(a) BIN details and amount of TDS reported in the quarterly TDS/TCS Statement filed by the DDO
will be matched with the details filed in Form No.24G filed by the PAO at the TIN Central System
for accepting TDS/TCS Statement and for verification purpose.

(b) Any wrong information reported by the DDOs in TDS/TCS Statement may lead to mismatch in
the TIN Central System due to which credit to the respective deductee will not be "finally booked"
in the deductee's Form 26AS.
(c) Further details are available at TIN website vvwvv.tin-nsdl.com and ITD website
www.incometaxindia.gov.in.
ANNEXURE-V
MINISTRY OF FINANCE
(Department of Economic Affairs)
(ECB & PR Division)
NOTIFICATION
New Delhi, the 22nd December, 2003
F. No. 5/7/2003-ECB &PR- The government approved on 23rd August, 2003 the proposal to implement
the budget announcement of 2003-04 relating to introducing a new restructured defined contribution
pension system for new entrants to Central Government service, except to Armed Forces, in the first
stage, replacing the existing system of defined benefit pension system.
i. The system would be mandatory for all new recruits to the Central Government service from 1st of
January, 2004 (except the armed forces in the first stage). The monthly contribution would be 10
per cent of the salary and DA to be paid by the employee and matched by the Central Government.
However, there will be no contribution form the Government in respect of individuals who are not
Government employees. The contribution and investment returns would be deposited in a non-
withdrawable pension tier-I account. The existing provisions of defined benefit pension and GPF
would not be available to the new recruits in the Central Government service.
ii. In addition to the above pension account, each individual may also have a voluntary tier-II
withdrawable account at his option. This option is given as GPF will be withdrawn for new
recruits in Central Government service. Government will make no contribution into this account.
These assets would be managed through exactly the above procedures. However, the employee
would be free to withdraw part or all of the Rs. second tier' of his money anytime. This
withdrawable account does not constitute pension investment, and would attract no special tax
treatment.
iii. Individuals can normally exit at or after age 60 years for tier-I of the pension system. At the exit
the individual would be mandatorily required to invest 40 per cent of pension wealth to purchase
an annuity (from an IRDA- regulated life insurance company). In case of Government employees
the annuity should provide for pension for the lifetime of the employee and his dependent parents
and his spouse at the time of retirement. The individual would received a lump-sum of the
remaining pension wealth, which he would be free to utilize in any manner. Individuals would
have the flexibility to leave the pension system prior to age 60. However, in this case, the
mandatory annuitisation would be 80% of the pension wealth.
Architecture of the new Pension System
(i) It will have a central record keeping and accounting (CRA) infrastructure, several pension fund
managers (PFMs) to offer three categories of schemes viz. option A, B and C.
(ii) The participating entities (PFMs and CRA) would give out easily understood information about
past performance, so that the individual would be able to make informed choices about which
scheme to choose.
2. The effective date for operationalization of the new pension system shall be form 1st of January,
2004.
