The employer estimates the employee&#8217;s total taxable income for the financial year, applies the applicable slab rates (old or new regime), accounts for exemptions and deductions, and spreads the resulting tax liability equally across the remaining months of the year. This monthly deduction is remitted to the government as TDS.<\/div>\n<div class=\"gt-section\">\n<h2>How Zoho Payroll Computes Monthly TDS<\/h2>\n<p>Zoho Payroll annualises the employee&#8217;s monthly salary at the start of the year, adds declared other income, deducts exemptions (HRA, LTA) and investment declarations (80C, 80D, etc.), computes annual tax as per the selected regime, subtracts standard deduction (Rs 75,000 for new regime, Rs 50,000 for old) and Professional Tax deduction, then divides the remaining tax by remaining months. This is the monthly TDS deducted.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"gt-section\">\n<h2>Impact of Investment Declarations on TDS<\/h2>\n<p>When employees submit their investment declarations (PPF, ELSS, home loan interest, health insurance premiums, etc.) through the ESS portal, Zoho Payroll updates the TDS computation for remaining months. Submitting declarations early in the financial year spreads the tax savings benefit more evenly. Year-end declarations may result in a large adjustment in the final month&#8217;s TDS.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"gt-section\">\n<h2>TDS Challan and Form 24Q<\/h2>\n<p>Monthly TDS deducted from all employees must be deposited to the government by the 7th of the following month via Challan 281. Zoho Payroll generates the TDS challan summary. Quarterly, the employer files Form 24Q (TDS return for salaries) on TRACES. Zoho Payroll generates the Form 24Q data to support this filing.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"gt-example-box\"><strong>Example:<\/strong> An employee&#8217;s projected annual taxable income is Rs 8 lakh (old regime). Tax = Rs 75,000. Remaining months = 12. Monthly TDS = Rs 6,250. After the employee declares PPF of Rs 1.5 lakh (80C), taxable income drops to Rs 6.5 lakh, tax to Rs 45,000. Monthly TDS recomputed to Rs 3,750 from the next month.<\/div>\n<div class=\"gt-related-pills\"><a href=\"https:\/\/aaxonix.com\/resources\/glossary\/investment-declaration-zoho-payroll\/\" class=\"gt-related-pill sp-content-link\">Investment Declaration<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/aaxonix.com\/resources\/glossary\/form-16-zoho-payroll\/\" class=\"gt-related-pill sp-content-link\">Form 16<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/aaxonix.com\/resources\/glossary\/form-24q-zoho-payroll\/\" class=\"gt-related-pill sp-content-link\">Form 24Q<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/aaxonix.com\/resources\/glossary\/income-tax-regime-zoho-payroll\/\" class=\"gt-related-pill sp-content-link\">Income Tax Regime<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/aaxonix.com\/resources\/glossary\/deduction-component-zoho-payroll\/\" class=\"gt-related-pill sp-content-link\">Deduction Component<\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"gt-faq-item\"><strong>What is TDS on Salary in Zoho Payroll?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>TDS on Salary is the monthly income tax deduction from employee salaries under Section 192.
