Lower Deduction / No Deduction of Tax from Salary

TDSMAN June 19, 2019 1 Comment

The Certificate for lower or no deduction of tax from salary is to be provided by the Assessee Officer on basis of application made by the deductee or employee. If Assessee Officer has issued such a certificate of lower or no deduction of tax to the employee, the deductor has to mention only whether no tax has been deducted or tax has been deducted at lower rate on basis of such certificate.
