The circular in this regard is not very clear. The responsibility has been vested on the officer, who is in charge for paying salary, to ensure that any benefit under IT is given to the employee on the basis of his/her fully satisfaction. So at the end of the day, the person responsible to deduct TDs, needs to satisfy himself & may be lateron, if needed, to the ITO too regarding the admissibility of such deduction to any such employee.
