TDS is to be deducted on salary..................480000 HRA.....................xxxxx For HRA 1st ask the actual amount of rent paid by the employee then least of following is exemppt i)Actual HRA ii)Rent paid-10% of Salary iii)50% of salary if house is in Metro City otherwise 40% of salary Least of the above three will be deducted from 120000 and balance would be added to 480000 and the total will be taxable as per individual slab rate
Please ask for the information as Madam Parul as suggested you.
In case, the said employee doesn't provide any such detail, you may consider the whole of HRA taxable and compute tax payable on Rs 6 lakh less the exemption limit.
Sorry, I read your query wrong.
The entry for TDS need not be segregated between basic salary and HRA. A consolidated entry can be passed.
