Deducting a 10% TDS on a monthly salary of ₹14,500 is illegal. An annual income of ₹1,74,000 falls well below the basic exemption limits of both the old and new tax regimes in India, meaning zero tax liability and no requirement for tax deduction at source. Exemption Limit: Under the Income Tax Act, salaries below the minimum taxable threshold are completely exempt from TDS under Section 192. [1] Incorrect Classification: Employers cannot treat regular employment salary under professional or contractor TDS rates (which carry 10% or flat deductions). Actionable Step: Request your employer to stop the deduction and refund any incorrectly withheld amount, or claim a refund by filing your income tax return.
