U NEED TO COLLECT ALL THE DOCUMENTARY PROOF OF PAYMENTS OR SAVINGS BEFORE THE YEAR END AND FINAL DEDUCTION OF TDS. IF THE EMPLOYEE COULD NOT PRODUCE THE PROOF THAN UR SUPPOSE TO DEDUCT TAX ON GROSS PAYMENTS ASSUMING NO SAVINGS HAS BEEN MADE.
FOR TDS IT IS DEDUCTORS RESPONSIBILITY TO CONFIRM THE PAYMENTS HAS BEEN MADE BY THE EMPLOYEE

Employer is bound to take proof of investments/ exemptions/claims availed by the employee before deducting tax. In the cited case employer had not done so. So the employer is liable to pay interest u/s 201(1A).In addition to interest penalty proceedings shall be initiated u/s 221 of the income tax act,1961.
