CBDT Circular No. 3/2025 provides detailed guidelines on TDS deduction from salaries under Section 192 for FY 2024-25. This blog covers tax regimes, employer responsibilities, and compliance steps to ensure accurate tax computation and timely TDS payment.

The CBDT's Circular Nos. 05/2024 and 09/2024, which do not have an exception clause for tax appeals under monetary restrictions, raised concerns from the High Court. Addressing important legal issues, ongoing disagreements, and consistent tax administration may be hampered by its omission. To maintain justice and fairness, the HC urged CBDT to assess and revise the circular.

The deadline for filing income tax returns for the assessment year 2024–25 has been extended by the Central Board of Direct Taxes (CBDT) to October 7, 2024. This blog discusses the rationale for the extension, who stands to gain from it, and how taxpayers should use the additional time to make timely and proper filings in order to avoid fines. It is recommended that people and businesses take early action to prevent last-minute issues.
