The employer may, at its option, make payment of the tax on such perquisites himself without making any TDS from the salary of the employee. However, the employer will have to pay the 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. 3.2.1 Comp .....

(b) Further any prior period interest for the FYs upto the FY in which the property was acquired or constructed (as reduced by any part of interest allowed as deduction under any other section of the Act) shall be deducted in equal installments 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.

Further Section 201(1A) provides that such person shall be liable to pay simple interest (i) at the rate of 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 the rate of one and one-half percent 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 inter alia lays down that if any person fails to deduct whole or any .....

'Part B (Annexure)' of Form No.16 shall be prepared by the deductor manually and issued to the deductee after due authentication and verification alongwith the Part A of the Form No.16. 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 ₹ 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. [Note: TRACES is a web-based application of the Income - tax Department that provides an interface to all stakeholders associated with TDS administration. It enables viewing of challan status, downloading of NSDL Conso File, Justification Report and Form 16 / 16A as well as viewing of annual tax credit statements (Form 26AS). Each deductor is required to Register in the Traces portal. Form 16 / 16A issued to deductees should mandatorily be generated and downloaded from the TRACES portal]. Certain essential p .....

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 21.05.2007) 4.6.4. Furnishing of particulars pertaining to perquisites, etc (section 192(2C)): 4.6.4.1 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 (Annexure II) and Form 16 of the Rules. Information relating to the na .....

As the requirement of filing TDS certificates alongwith 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 are, therefore, advised to procure and quote correct PAN details of all deductees in the TDS statements for salaries in Form 24Q. Taxpayers are also liable to furnish their correct PAN to their deductors. 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.

The procedure for furnishing the e-TDS/TCS statement is detailed at Annexure VI. 4.9.3 All Returns in Form 24Q are required to be furnished in electronically except in case where the number of deductee records is less than 20 and deductor is not an office of Government, or a company or a person who is required to get his accounts audited under section 44AB of the Act. [Notification No. 11 dated 19.02.2013]. 4.9.4 Fee for default in furnishing statements (Section 234E): If a person fails to deliver or caused to be delivered a statement within the time prescribed in section 200(3) in respect of tax deducted at source on or after 1.07.2012 he shall be liable to pay, by way of fee a sum of ₹ 200 for every day during which the failure continues. However, the amount of such fee shall not exceed the amount of tax which was deductible at source. This fee is mandatory in nature and to be paid before furnishing of such statement. 4.9.5 Rectification of mistake in filing TDS Statement: A DDO can also file a correction statement for rectification of any mis .....

Necessary instructions in this regard were issued by the Reserve Bank of India to the State Bank of India and other nationalized Banks vide RBI's Pension Circular(Central Series) No.7/C.D.R./1992 (Ref. CO: DGBA: GA (NBS) No.60/GA.64 (11CVL)-/92) dated the 27th April 1992, and, these instructions should be followed by all the branches of the Banks, which have been entrusted with the task of payment of pensions. Further all branches of the banks are bound u/s 203 to issue certificate of tax deducted in Form 16 to the pensioners also vide CBDT circular no. 761 dated 13.1.1998. 4.11. Matters pertaining to the TDS made in case of Non Resident: 4.11.1 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 11.07.1995]. 4.11.2 In respect of non-residents, the salary paid for services rendered in Ind .....

It may be noted that, since salary includes pension, tax at source would have to be deducted from pension also, unless otherwise so required. 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 -Salaries". Therefore, provisions of section 192 of the Act are not applicable. Hence no TDS is required to be made on family pension. 5.2.2 Perquisite includes: I. The value of rent free accommodation provided to the employee by his employer; II. The value of any concession in the matter of rent in respect of any accommodation provided to the employee by his employer; III. The value of any benefit or amenity granted or provided free of cost or at concessional rate in any of the following cases: i) By a company to an employee who is a director of such company; ii) By a company to an employee who ha .....

Residential Accommodation provided by the employer [Rule 3(1)]:- "Accommodation" includes a house, flat, farm house or part thereof, hotel accommodation, motel, service apartment, guest house, a caravan, mobile home, ship or other floating structure. A. For 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. Employees of autonomous, semi-autonomous institutions, PSUs/PSEs & subsidiaries, Universities, etc. are not covered under this method valuation. (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 .....

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; or 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 a total period not exceeding in aggregate 15 days in a previous year, and 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.

However, the value of perquisite will be ₹ 900/- (plus ₹ 900/-, if chauffeur is also provided) per month if the cubic capacity of engine of the motor car exceeds 1.6 litres. (2) If the motor car or any other automotive conveyance is owned by the employee but the actual running and maintenance charges are met or reimbursed by the employer, the method of valuation of perquisite value is different and as below: a) where the motor car or any other automotive conveyance is owned by the employee but actual maintenance & running expenses (including chauffeur salary, if any) are met or reimbursed by the employer, no perquisite shall be chargeable to tax if the car is used wholly and exclusively for official purposes. However following compliances are necessary: - The employer has maintained complete details of the journey undertaken for official purposes; - The employer gives a certificate that the expenditure was incurred wholly for official duties. However if the motor car is used partly for official or partly for private purposes .....

This will not apply to the employees of any airline or the railways. VII Interest free or concessional loans [Rule 3(7)(i)]: 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 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 o .....

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. XIV Gifts [Rule 3(7)(iv)]: The value of any gift or vouchers or token in lieu of which such gift may be received, given by the employer to the employee or member of his household, is taxable as perquisite.

The deductors may look into the above provisions carefully before they determine the perquisite value for deduction purposes.

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.
