Salary TDS & Form 24Q for Mumbai employers — computed, not guessed
Salary TDS goes wrong in two places: projecting annual income correctly (especially with mid-year joiners and bonuses) and reconciling what was deducted against Form 24Q at quarter-end. FastLegal computes Section 192 TDS from the actual payroll it runs, so the two always match.
Mumbai employers get regime-wise projections (old vs new), monthly challan-ready totals for payment, and quarterly 24Q annexure data generated from locked payroll runs. Maharashtra levies Professional Tax up to ₹2,500/year (₹200/month, ₹300 in February) — FastLegal deducts it automatically for Mumbai employees.

Frequently asked questions
How is TDS on salary calculated for my Mumbai employees?
Annual taxable income is projected from the salary structure, regime-specific deductions applied (₹75,000 standard deduction under the new regime), tax computed per slabs and divided across remaining months. FastLegal recomputes on every change — increments, bonuses, investments.
Does FastLegal generate Form 24Q?
It produces the quarterly annexure data (challan and deductee rows, and the Q4 salary breakup) from locked payroll runs, ready to load into the NSDL RPU for FVU generation and TRACES upload.
Old vs new regime — can employees choose?
Yes — each employee's regime is set on their profile, TDS is computed accordingly, and the comparison is visible so they can choose the cheaper regime.
What about employees who join mid-year in Mumbai?
Their TDS projection covers only the months they'll actually earn with you, and imported YTD figures from a previous employer can be included so the projection stays accurate.
