| ANSWER: | – As per S. 192(2B), where an employee having any income chargeable under the head “Salaries” has in addition, any income chargeable under any other head of income for the financial year, he may send to his employer, a statement of particulars of such other income and the tax, if any, deducted thereon and also the loss, if any, under the head “Income from house property” [vide Rule 26B(1)]. This statement is to be accompanied by verification as prescribed in Rule 26B(2), when such statement of particulars are sent by the employee, the employer shall take into account such income and tax for TDS. – It has been specifically provided in the proviso to S. 192(2B) that this sub-section shall not in any case have the effect of reducing the TDS, except where the loss under the head “Income from house property” has been taken into account, from the income under the head “salaries” below the amount that would be so deductible, if other income and TDS thereon had not been taken into account. – Thus, while calculating total income, A Ltd would take into account Rs. 30,000/- contributed to PPF under S. 80C, however, donation for charitable purpose under S. 80G would not be taken as per CBDT cir. No. 1 dt. 11/01/10 for financial year 2009/10. TDS after reducing loss from house property, without taking other income and tax would be Rs. 10,354/- i.e. On first Rs. 1,60,000/- Nil On Rs. 1,60,000/- to Rs. 3,00,000/- 10% On Rs. 3,00,000/- to Rs. 5,00,000/- 20% On above Rs. 5,00,000/- 30% So tax liability of employer would be Rs. 10,354/- as under: Normal (Rs.) u/s. 192(2B)(Rs.)
