To deduct TDS correct & pay is liability of employer. But if employer fails to deduct then it is the employee who has to pay the tax on his income.

TDS on salaries in case not deducted properly by the employer, the employee has to pay the remaining TDS before March . Otherwise it can be paid along with interest as self assesment tax U/s 140a ....

Dear Friends!
Any tax payment made directly by employee in their PAN by way of advance tax or self assessment tax can not be equated to TDS and would not discharge the employer of his responsibi;lity to make TDS.
Short deduction on the part of employee would provide scope for levy of the same amount as a demand on the employer under 201.
If it can be later on proved that the employee has discharged his liability to tax, even then interest under 201(1A) needs to be paid.
Therefore, wherever mistakes identified before the filing of the e-TDS retruns, it would always be advantageous to set right the problem in the TDS angle and then issue the relevant TDS certificate to the deductee.
Do post your response!!
Good Bye! Cheers!
