ย 
2. The Central Board of Direct Taxes (CBDT), issued a circular Dated 13thย April, 2020, Asย per the Circular, an employee having income Other than the business income (suchย as Salary Income etc.) will have to inform his/her employer of his/her choice of taxย regime for the on-going FY 2020-21. The employer will have to deduct taxes from theย employee’s salary accordingly.
ย 
As Per The Circular, “An employee, having income other than the income under theย head “profit and gains of business or profession” and intending to opt for theย concessional rate under section 115BAC of the Act, may intimate the deductor,ย being his employer, of such intention for each previous year and upon suchย intimation, the deductor shall compute his total income, and make TDS thereon inย accordance with the provisions of section 115BAC of the Act.
ย 
Also, once the choice of tax regime has been communicated to the employer, theย employee Cannot Change the Choice of Tax Regime during the financial year.ย However, an employee will have the option to switch the tax regime at the time ofย filing tax return (ITR) โ€œmeans option at the time of filing of return of income underย sub-section (1) of section 139 of the Act could be different from the intimationย made by such employee to the employer for that previous yearโ€
ย 
The CBDT Circular has clarified that unless communicated by an employee, theย employer should deduct taxes from salary income as per the existing/old taxย regime. This would mean that if you have not communicated your decision for aย particular tax regime in the Month of April, then your employer will continue toย deduct TDS as per the existing/old tax regime. If you communicate your choice ofย new tax regime to your employer in the Month of June, then TDS from June till theย end of the financial year will be deducted as per the new tax rates subject to anyย adjustment for excess TDS deducted for April and May which can be made by theย employer
