 In certain cases when the employer might have deducted more or less Tax from salary than actually deductible, the same can be adjusted in the year subsequent to the previous year. 

Example: 

Tax to be deducted in the Financial Year 2011-12                                               Rs. 15000
Tax actually deducted by the Employer                                                                  Rs. 17500
Tax to be deducted in the Financial Year 2012-13                                               Rs. 18000

Solution:

Tax Deductible in the Financial Year 2012-13                                                                        Rs. 18000
Excess tax deducted by the employer in the year 2011-12 (17500-15000)                Rs.  2500

Net tax to be deducted by the employer in the Financial Year 2012-13  Rs. 15,500


  When the salary is payable in foreign currency, the value in rupees of such salary shall be calculated at the prescribed rate of exchange.

Let us understand the above concept with the help of an example:

Example:

Details of Mr. X of age 59 years in the financial year 2012-13 are as below:

Basic Salary                                                         Rs. 3,60,000
HRA                                                                       Rs.    60,000
Medical Reimbursement                              Rs.    12,000

Calculate tax to be deduced by an employer for the year and take home pay of the employee.

Solution:

Tax to be deducted by the employer:

Basic Salary                                                         Rs. 3,60,000
              HRA (Note 1)                                                     Rs.    60,000
              Medical Reimbursement (Note 2)                           NIL      
Total Taxable Amount                    Rs. 4,20,000       
Tax to be Deducted (Note 3)      Rs.    22,000

Net Home Pay of the Employee:

                              Basic Salary                                                         Rs. 3,60,000
                              HRA                                                                       Rs.    60,000
                              Medical Reimbursement                              Rs     12,000     
                                                                                                                Rs. 4,32,000
                Less:      Tax Deducted by employer                         Rs.   22,000
                                                Net Home Pay                                  Rs. 4,10,000

Note (1)

It is assumed that Mr. X resides in his own house, so whole HRA is taxable.

Note (2)

Medical Reimbursement is exempted under section 10. So the same should not be considered for calculating tax.

Note (3)

Tax to be deducted by the employer:

Total Taxable Salary (as above)                                                                                  Rs. 4,20,000

Income Tax Slab for Individual with Age less than 60 Years
10% of the income exceeding Rs.2,00,000 Upto Rs. 5,00,000                         Rs.    22,000
[(Rs. 4,20,000 – Rs. 2,00,000)*10]

Basic Salary                                         Rs. 3,60,000  / 12 Months  * 4.67% =  Rs. 1401
                               HRA                                                      Rs.    60,000  / 12 Months  * 4.67% =  Rs.  234
