It’s time of the year when everyone including your employer is worried about your taxes. Most people would have received mail from their Accounts department about “submission of proofs for investments done to claim income tax exemption”. In case you have not, it might be on its way.

This post helps you understand why It is the time for Submit the Income Tax deduction Proof to Employer – With Automatic Tax Preparation Excel Based All in One TDS on Salary with Form 16 for F.Y.2015-16

Salaried class needs to submit these proofs to their employers, how it should be done, what documents to be submitted and if there is a deadline?

Why Employers Ask for Tax Saving Investment Proofs?

Employers are responsible to deduct income tax (TDS – Tax deduction at source) from salary paid to its employees and deposit the same to income tax department. But income tax is complicated and the final tax depends on the tax saving investments a person makes or if the person lives on rent or if he has a house. So to compute your taxes correctly your employer asks for a declaration at the start of financial year (in April). The TDS is deducted based on this declaration.
As we approach the end of financial year, employer wants to make sure you did what you declared as it impacts the tax calculation. So it asks you to submit proofs for income tax saving investment that you made, rent receipts along with any other documents. Once the proof is submitted the employer computes tax based on the actual investments made and TDS is adjusted accordingly.

When does Employer ask for Proofs?

There are no guidelines about when any employer should ask for investment proofs. Some companies start asking for the same in December but most of them would ask for it before end of January. This is asked so early on as the enhanced tax deduction can be done from 2-3 months’ salary. Also this awakes the lazy ones and they start their tax planning.

What if you do not Submit the Proofs?

In case you do not submit the proofs, employer would not be able to give you tax benefit on your tax saving investments. This would lead to higher deduction of taxes. You can claim refund of these taxes only during filing of tax returns.

Documents to be Submitted

Indian income tax laws are complicated and have multiple exemptions and investment options. Below is the list of documents that needs to be submitted to your employer to get relevant tax deductions.

§                    The rent receipt must have One rupee revenue stamp on it (ideally a revenue stamp is required for receipts if the rent is paid by cash and is over Rs.5,000 but most employers still ask for it).
§                    No rent receipt is required if the monthly rent paid is below Rs.3,000
