TDS being deducted even below taxable threshold
by GRACE on Jul 17, 2008 02:09 PM   Permalink | Hide replies

My CTC is 1.44 lacs and am employed as a contractor from Jan 2008. But I still have TDS being deducted from my salary. What do I do?

Since you are employed as a contractor your employer is bound by law to deduct tax at source. For this the company must have pro vided Form 16A. Now you will have to file return with the details from this form to claim refund.

You are not an employee. There should be employer and employee relation. Yours is contarct for service. Hence ask your employer Form 16A and claim refund after setting off expenses if any incurred while rendering services to the organisation and also 80-C deduction.

Form 16 is issued to only salaried employees. Since you work on contract, the company should give you form 16A. Its better for you becuase you can prepare profit and loss account and avoid liability of tax.
