TDS - Tax deduction at Source is the primary responsibility of the Employer to deduct taxes based on the salary paid to the employees. Eg: If an individual in getting only the salary then the company which is paying him salary will be responsible to deduct taxes and remit the taxes to the Government(TDS). Say if that individual is getting income from other sources, he will have to pay taxes for that additional income apart from salary based on the prevailing tax rates. IT - Any individual or Employee or the Assess will be responsible to adhere and pay the taxes if they are having other sources of income apart from salary.
