Paying tax is necessary for all taxpayers of the country. If any taxpayers do not pay tax then the Income Tax Department takes strict action against them. The Income Tax Department has created a tax slab. Tax has to be paid on the same basis. What should you do if you do not fall in that tax slab and TDS is deducted?
Every person falling under the tax rules made by the Income Tax Department has to pay tax on time. If the Income Tax Department has also created taxable limit. If your income falls within this limit, you do not have to pay tax. At the same time, if the income exceeds the taxable limit then you have to pay tax. While paying tax, you should ensure that you pay the tax on time. If you do not do this then income tax notice may also come in your name.
