Salary income is one such salary where most of the tax is deducted by the employer himself and hence the employee has to pay tax in very rare scenario’s.
Also, because of the above reason government has started provided pre-filled ITR for salaried employee but the same would work if Form 16 has been properly generated by employer and employee has no variance from income shown by employer.
Since TDS on salary income is an important aspect, CBDT almost every year comes with a circular which is booklet on TDS on salary income u/s 192 of the Income tax act.
