Salary income is the money an employee receives from a current or former employer in exchange for doing tasks related to their employment. Therefore, only where there is an employer-employee link between the payer and payee is income subject to Section 15's salary taxation. Salary income can come in a variety of forms, including gifts, pensions, gratuities, regular compensation, and so on. We examine many facets of salary income under the Income Tax Act in this article.
1. Any wages owing to an assessee from a previous employer (current or past), whether or not they were paid;
2. Any salary paid or permitted to an employee by or on behalf of an employer in the previous year even though it was past due or before it was required; and
3. Any arrears of salary paid or permitted to him in the prior year by or on duty on the part of an employer, if not charged to income tax for any earlier prior year.
Taxes can be applied on salary income either on a due basis or a receipt basis. Salary is only an application of income once it has accrued, and any future waiver is subject to taxation.
Salary is payment for individualized services that may be rendered by a normal individual, not by a group or organization. Salary income is therefore only taxable in the hands of an individual. No other sort of person, such as a company, HUF, LLP, or firm, is permitted to receive salary income. Additionally, the income that would be levied would be categorized under the heading "Salaries" if the association of employer and employee prevails. It makes no difference if the employee works full- or part-time hours. The final point is that any payment an employee receives from a current, previous, or potential employer will be taxed under the "Salaries" heading.
Incentives that fall under the heading "Salaries" must be derived from a position that qualifies as a profession. To put the tax incidence under the heading "Salaries," the allocation of an office alone is insufficient. Additionally, an user's income from a source besides his employer cannot be classified as a salary, and as a result, may not be taxed under the "Salaries" category. Every penny of this revenue needs to be reported under the category "Profits and Gains of Business or Profession."
Typically, salaries are paid on the final business day of each month. India's minimum wage and its calculation are governed by the Minimum Wages Act of 1948. According to the Act, if a business hires fewer than 1000 people, the wage is paid on the seventh of the month. The wage is paid on the tenth of every month if the company employs more than 1000 people. Government and semi-government employees must pay their salaries on the first of the following month, while all other employees must do so on the last day of each month.
For Government Employees – 1st March to 28th February
For Private Employees – 1st April to 31st March
Non-Government employees' leave salaries are tax-free up to the minimum of the following amounts:
Only after the date of retirement, whether through superannuation or another source, will an employee get the cash equivalent of the leave salary in relation to the period of earned leave to their credit, or 10 months' worth of average pay. Amounts not subject to tax, as determined by the government, or Leave encashment actually received at the time of retirement are used to calculate the average salary. This calculation is based on the average salary drawn over the ten months immediately preceding the retirement or superannuation.
The employer is effectively prohibited from working during the suspension period, and only the necessary allowances—which would be taxable—are granted in lieu of full pay.
In India, the concept of a tax-free salary does not exist. The employee's taxable income will be included in the tax payment made by the employer on their behalf.
No, it is taxable as income from other sources.
