The TDS Override feature allows you to manually adjust the system-generated TDS amount for a specific month.

  • Navigate to Payroll → Salary Payslip.

  • Select the employee’s payslip and click the TDS Override button.

  •  A pop-up window will appear showing the actual TDS amount deducted. You can enter the override amount and submit the changes.

  • The system will automatically update the TDS amount and recalculate the net pay for that employee.

  • Any remaining difference will be adjusted across the forecasting months in the financial year. For example, if the system-calculated TDS for July is ₹5,000 and you enter ₹4,000, the remaining ₹1,000 will be distributed evenly across the remaining months of the financial year.

  • The TDS Override option is restricted in certain cases: when the employee has left the organization and it is their final month, when the quarter closure has been completed, and during the last month of the financial year (March).
