Municipal employees are eligible to pay income tax surcharge as per income tax rules and tax structure. Income tax is deducted from the salary of such employees. Some employees pay income tax every month and some only once a year. The amount is deducted from the salary by the Finance and Accounts Department of the Municipal Corporation. Meanwhile, after deduction of income tax from the salary, it is necessary to pay it to the income tax department and register it. This work is done by each department’s Bill Clark. Such responsibility has been given to them. Some departments also have two to three bill clerks. Even so, due to minor technical errors, income tax payment of employees is not recorded. In this, there are technical errors such as not entering the PAN number properly, making a mistake in the name. As a result, it appears that income tax has not been paid to the Income Tax Department. Therefore, notices of non-payment of income tax are coming to the employees from the income tax department. (Pune Municipal Corporation)
