About this market

Market context

Employment Tax in Bengaluru encompasses the various direct and indirect taxes and statutory contributions related to employee compensation and benefits. This includes the withholding and remittance of income tax from salaries (TDS), as well as contributions to social security schemes.

In Bengaluru, as in the rest of India, employers are responsible for deducting Tax Deducted at Source (TDS) from employee salaries under Section 192 of the Income Tax Act, 1961, and remitting it to the government.
