Dear Jay sir,
The Employer is required to deduct TDS every month, otherwise he might receive notice from I.T. Dept. and also he needs to issue TDS certificate to the assessee,
anyhow, let's take an example, you need to leave a job in February month (reason might be quarrel/argument with employer or any thing else).... and suppose in month of March, you went to employer and ask him to deduct TDS and what will you do if he refuses, in that case, you need to pay tax on the whole amount (and if that amount turns out to be more than Rs. 10000) then advance tax liability and then interest under relevant sections etc... arise on your part... you need to pay such hefty amount..
There might be number of other reasons why employer needs to deduct TDS every month, not in last month.. another reason could be penalty/interest on employer and other legal consequences etc.. as its employer who is violating the law, at first instance...
