Frequently asked questions

What is TDS on salary?+

TDS (Tax Deducted at Source) under Section 192 is how salaried employees pay income tax — your employer estimates your annual tax liability at the start of the year and deducts roughly 1/12th of it from each month's salary, rather than you paying a lump sum at filing time.

Why does my TDS change during the year?+

Employers often deduct TDS unevenly — lighter early in the year and heavier toward the end — especially once you submit investment proofs (for the old regime) or if your salary changes mid-year. This calculator shows the annualized average, not what any single month's payslip will show.

Can I get excess TDS refunded?+

Yes — if your employer deducted more TDS than your actual final tax liability (common if you claimed deductions late, or switched jobs mid-year), you can claim the excess as a refund when filing your income tax return.

Does TDS depend on which tax regime I choose?+

Yes. You can inform your employer at the start of the financial year which regime to use for TDS calculation. The new regime has wider slabs but disallows most deductions; the old regime lets you reduce your TDS by declaring 80C, 80D, HRA, and other eligible deductions upfront.
