Compensation has to be awarded by the Commissioner. The party has to approach the Commissioner for arriving at the compensation to be paid to be employee, who met with accident. Compensation is payable only when accident occurs during his work. In such case no TDS is required.
However, if Compensation is paid by employer other than what is awarded by the Commissioner, then it is taxable under head Salaries deducted u/s 192 (Salaries), on the amount of Compensation (excluding to the extent it is exempt)
