As an employer we accepted the cost claimed by our employee for the Sweeper, Gardener salary as a perquisite, also we reimbursed the petrol / diesel, driver salary based on the actual claimed by staff which they used for official trip.
Now, IT Department disallowed all these types of claims, and asking to pay TDS variance for these employees with Interest and Penalty.
Now employee are left our company, we can't claim this TDS payment if we pay on behalf them.

Yes. TDS needs to be deducted taking into account all values of perquisites to employees. IF Full and Final Settlement have not been done yet you may deduct appropriate TDS now.
However if the Employee files the ITR showing all the details of perquisites and pays the taxes then the company will not be at default.
