Educational institutions

in my opinion TDS and provident fund should not be deducted on the payment of salary to staff of educational institution , i.e. they should be treated like 'tax havens' . this will help to improve our education system.

Please enlighten more on this thought, How would this be more beneficial to the mass public?

As far as, I understand TDS is the tax that has to be deducted at source from the Income of the Teacher or any other staff. Even if, the same is not deducted from salary. The person receiving the payments has to pay the required tax on his income while filing his return of income.

As far as PF is concerned, that is for the good of the staff itself.

this will help to attract more wise and intelligent teachers to the educational industry as they will not be required to pay income tax and TDS need not be deducted.even more so , i think TDS should not be deducted for the payment made to building contractors or sub-contractors.this will help good schools to make easier expansions and easily able to reach the masses.

PF and ESIC should be deducted should be deducted , but ESIC needs to be deducted only when the benefits can easily be available to common masses.

this will help in attracting very good teachers , which ultimately will escalate the country's growth.but i opine that this will only be possible when teacher recruitment is very very strict.
